I have collected some images of Paintings of Achaemenid Persians & Scythians from the Tatarli Tumulus, a Lydian tomb chamber built around 470 B.C. in southern Phrygia, but there were not many images of the Scythians.


Reproduction of Achaemenid Persian cavalry, Tatarli Tumulus, Lydian tomb, Phrygia, c.470 BC
Reproduction of Achaemenid Persian chariot, Tatarli Tumulus, Lydian tomb, Phrygia, c.470 BC
Reproduction of Achaemenid Persian infantry defeating Scythians, Tatarli Tumulus, Lydian tomb, Phrygia, c.470 BC

Compare the chariot to a model of Achaemenid Persian Gold Chariot, Oxus Treasure, British Museum

Does anyone have more images of the original wooden beams or reproductions?

I looked at the illustrations from the first post by Druzhina, then all the ones from Michael's above site which showed Achaemenid  Persians and Scythians on horses. Not one original rendition or sculpture shows the use of a saddle. The Achaemenids and Greeks used "saddle cloths," the same as modern saddle blankets, but these were not actual saddles. How interesting.
