Achaemenid Iranian images from Turkey

Salve,
 my 'anda' ( Mongolian for sworn-brother ) Patryk Skupniewicz provided me to a link to a news article from  the Circle of  Ancient Iranian Studies  www.cais-soas.com/news the-return-of-colours , regrading already closed  exhibit in the Yapi Kredi Vedat Nedim Tör Museum in Turkey -
 The subject matter is the reconstructed 470BC  Tatarli Tumulus and beautiful paintings on wood contained herein.

here you can see charging Achaemenid hippotaxotai archer cavalry, armed in two kinds of bows: www.cais-soas.com/horse archers
 Note horse harness (interesting bridle with a bosal?)  and long saddle blankets -shabraques, unfortunately the image is cut off at the horse's croup and we cannot see the tied tails, another typical Achaemenid Iranian and Eurasian steppe tradition.

and here the Achaemenid chariot crew pulled by splendid horses, similar  horses were carved  in  the wall of the Persepolis' Apadana.  www.cais-soas.com Reconstructed_Achaemenid_painting_beam3WM

and in addition  a couple of my own drawings and sketches-in progress showing Achaemenid warriors
