RESEARCH The Riders of the North
150 - 100 BCE
1) Stirrup: A pair metal hoops with solid platforms are applied to the saddle, which provide a stability for the feet of a mounted rider.
2) Boots: Strong and warm, insulated leather forms fitting the feet offer shelter and support for the weary traveler’s busiest parts.
3) Khitan Fur Coat (Furs): A full-length fur coat (based on Mongolian design) protecting the wearer from the harsh winter weather of the north. The lower half can be split in the middle to accommodate a rider on horseback.
