Seleucid cataphract

Quote: It's a pitty the armed saddle isn't totally visible, but it is accepted that it had a very stiff (wooden) construction covered with metal scales.

Could I trouble you for the reference article or paper which gives evidence for the wooden tree/construction for the saddle, please? Archaeological evidence (not a reconstruction) would be even better.

Many thanks.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
