What the heck is that excessively curved thing? A boomerang?

It's actually a  bow-case

Looks difficult to actually draw a bow from.

Not to mention it wouldn't be stringed. And the sharp end suggests a blade, rather than a bow's end. In any case, that's surely the strangest bow-case I've seen.

Seems to large for a sabre though. I love the headgear on both horse and warrior.

Oh, that one actually looks pretty good (though his face reminds me of Christoph Lambert for some reason, instead of an early/Asian Avar). Any more where that came from?
