Sassanian riding a horse facing backwards
#3
Only in the first image (Bastan Museum) is the knee facing backwards, all 4 others (that I can see, I get some malware reports) show the knee facing forwards, a sure sign that the rider is still in the common position. I don't know why the first plate show the rider reversed in the saddle. Maybe a mistake by an artist? A nobleman showing off?
