Great work there peetje! Love the look.

Historical note: the Sarmatians were confederation of Iranian tribes who dominated parts of eastern Europe and western Asia for about a millennium centered on 0 A.D. Some of them became auxiliary troops in the Roman Empire and a contingent was stationed in Britain. That is why this Sarmatian is wearing Roman style gear; Sarmatians in their own lands wore different gear.

The movie King Arthur (2004) is based on a theory that the Arthurian legends were brought to Britain and also partly acted out by the aforementioned Sarmatians in Roman service.

Thank you for your'e nice words.
And for the good explanation.
Love animals.

Lovely custom, Peetje! He's one sartorially smart Sarmatian!

And thank you for the historical references once again, Macruran!
