Scythian/Sarmatian bow, all bamboo possible?
#3
Bamboo would be easy enough to import, I reckon. But it doesn't seem like the sort of thing they'd do. They strip bamboo fiber and make yarn fabric from bamboo. But clearly that doesn't mean a bamboo fiber tunic would be realistic. Not sure how far west bamboo grows. India? Maybe.
