thank you all gents for your feedback ! Also about the scabbards. Highly appreciated !
buona sera Duccio,
with reference to the picture you added, would the Salampasu in the leopard troussers be one of the notorious "leopardmen"or just a warrior wearing the skin of the animal to show his warrior status in a symbolic way ?
Saluti da Maastricht☼
