About this work
Early 14th-century work from the Diez Albums depicting Mongol warriors pursuing enemies. Items of interest include: the armour of the warriors, showing lamellar characteristics; the appearance of their short horses which resemble Mongolian ponies strongly; and the specific depiction of Mongol harness techniques with a third rope running between the bit and the saddle. Staatsbibliothek Berlin, Orientabteilung, Diez A fol. 71, p. 58.
