Hey guys, this is slightly of topic, but I was wondering if you had any depictions of Indian armor at around the time of the Gupta period(not Kushan).

The gupta cavalry was modelled on the kushanas and their heavy cavalry was equipped with scale armour covering the upper body.Armour in the Indian subcontinent was always somewhat lighter due to the oppressive heat and humidity,particularly in summer.
.The infantry were spearmen or foot archers and generally didn't wear armour.
