Origin of the Alans
#10
If I may be permitted to add to the tail sheath topic. Below is an image of a tail sheath and mane covers as well as a whip taken from one of the barrows at Pazyryk.

   

Alanus that image that you posted from the tomb at Kerch of the Siraces/Alan rider approaching a seated woman is very similar to the scene from the Pazyryk carpet. One of the features of the bodies found at Pazyryk was that both males and females were shaved and then the wigs and false beards were then placed with the bodies for their journey to the afterlife and as you can see in the carpet scene the woman seated is bald and seems to be holding a branch (probably indicating the tree of life) so I think the crenelated mane had deep religious meaning to the Indo-European nomads both Yuehchi/Tocharians and the various Indo-Iranians. Funnily Sarmatians were known to wear short cloaks like the rider in the carpet scene. Even my avatar image Tryphon of Tanais is wearing the short cloak as well as Sarmatian/Iazyges rider depicted on tombstone at Chester below.

   

   

   




 In regard to the heavenly horses below is an early rock painting of a "heavenly horse or Blood sweating horse" turcoman mare and her foal at Aravan, Osh in Kyrgyzstan in the Fergana Valley dating from 1st Century BC. Smile
