Less than a year ago I had gotten back into historical warriors after a forum I was on had a handful of threads regarding warriors vs. warriors (you know, like knight vs. samurai, that sort of stuff). This actually led me to become more interested in certain historical time periods/history as a whole (now I know more about the Middle Ages than I did before all this, though I'm still certainly no expert). This also led to me being interested in just about all human cultures from the past.



So you could imagine how cool I find this. I don't think people usually portray indigenous American warriors wearing armor, and while I'm sure that's true for some groups thereof, it's not for the Tlingits (for one). Armor made of wood, shields made of copper. That collar is probably what strikes me the most; some went so far as to protect themselves THAT much. Wow.



So yes, great piece.
