painted in 1814, from The_Sikh_Army_1799-1849

Description: This horseman is typical of the Misl era. Bows had been largely abandoned in the second halt of the 18th century, but continued to be carried by some Irregular cavalrymen and Akalis until the 1840s. Most were of composite construction, but some were steel.
