If I am not mistaken a Wusun warrior is depicted in one of the Osprey's books. Can someone scan the drawing for me please?
Other drawings of Wusun warriors are very much welcome.
Did the early northern barbarians of China (2000 BC-400BC) use light war chariots?
Thanks
Greetings

I have one picture not from Osprey, but from National Geographic, depicting the Wūsūn (Wu-sun) 烏孫 that travelled back to China together with the emissary Zhāng Qiān (Chang Ch'ien) 張騫:  |

I must have confused the Wusun with another tribe. The only thing I can remember from the picture is that the warrior is wearing a piece of armour on his shoulder and that he is wearing a red helmet.
Thanks Temujin for scanning me the Tibetan cataphracts. I can't wait to see them.
