These garments were adapted (along with horse tack and horse vocabulary etc) by the Turkish tribes from their Iranian nomadic 'cousins'. Our Polish ''żupan'' and ''kontusz'' seem to have been developed from a 'union' of these nomadic robes with some other Medieval and early modern garments from Eastern and Southern Europe etc.Dario T.

A part of the cape maybe?<br />By the way, great Saka sketch. Hope others will follow.<br />Greetings<br /><br />PhilipPhiliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10380968584170499447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466337662455429678.post-43680490484111048452011-01-25T22:59:53.509-07:002011-01-25T22:59:53.509-07:00Hey Samuel,

Ah my favorite topic :)
Thanks for ...Salve Dario,<br /><br />Ah my favorite topic :)<br />Thanks for the splendid depictions of early hussars you've found in various woodcuts and related art (and subsequently collected on your blog) - your own art is impressive as well.<br /><br />To complement to the subject - Check this etching of a hussar from this sabre-scabbard (cca early 16th century )<br /><br />left side:<br />http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/927/husarzwegierskyzpocz16w.jpg<br /><br />right side: http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/927/husarzwegierskyzpocz16w.jpg <br /><br />It seems there is something similar to the galka/pommel found on the later "copia" lances... <br /><br />Check also this - "10 hungarian lancers" by Jörg Breu the Elder (1530s? retrieved from zeno.org) original link on zeno :<br /><br />http://images.zeno.org/Kunstwerke/I/big/HL00330a.jpg<br /><br />Cheers and best wishes,<br />SamuelSamuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907338416687624841noreply@blogger.com
