Sarmatian Clothing on Kosika Vessels

[Holly Herda]

I'm familiar with the "typical" Sarmatian kaftans (and Yatsenko's stuff), but I wouldn't go so far as to say this isn't accurate. There's actually 5 men shown on the vessel, and at least 3 of them appear to have the "lapel" thing going on. I attached pictures of all 5 below. You can see the contrast with the last guy, who's wearing the normal version with a band of trim. (The pictures come from this paper by Romanian archaeologist Vitalie Barca, but the finds have also been analyzed by Treister.) 

I agree that the Osprey illustration sure made that guy look poor, though. I just wanted to show a more "fleshed out" imagining of it, despite some of the differences.
