Slaughter of the innocents (with soldiers in scale hauberks).

the helmets look interesting...

The helmet seems to have a peak cut-out at the front, like No. 1 in the 3rd picture. The knob is probably supposed to be on top of the helmet like the middle figure in the ivory, but the other figures are too close to the edge.
