Synopsis

This is an image of a cavalryman facing forward and standing on the left of the page beside his large horse. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The horse is viewed from the side and its head is to the left of the page next to the cavalryman. The man is holding the rein of the horse in his left hand and in his right hand he is holding a sword. He is dressed in a knee-length, short-sleeved tunic tied loosely at the waist and he wears a helmet with strong metal bands to protect his head and face. He is wearing shoes with long laces, which criss-cross around his calves. He has a kite-shaped shield, which is rounded at the top and pointed at the bottom. The cavalryman's horse has a high-backed saddle to give the rider more stability when he is in combat.
