There's a mosaic that was recently posted here, showing what looks to be an officer and a miles stood side by side.

You could say the officer wears high boots similar to those, but the strapping follows the more usual zig-zag pattern we see so often for leg bindings as seen on the other figure in the mosaic. Some of the photos posted in the recent leg bindings topic look just like those in your photo.

It would be great to see a closer photo of the statue you posted, as it may well put the whole damned argument to bed. :wink:
