Have you seen this special exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art?
Probably old news to most of you but I thought it was interesting.

Warriors of the Himalayas: Rediscovering the Arms and Armor of Tibet
April 5, 2006July 4, 2006
"This exhibition is the first comprehensive study of armor, weapons, and equestrian equipment from the Tibetan plateau, a subject that has remained virtually unexplored until now. Many rare or previously unknown examples of helmets, body armor, swords, horse armor, saddles, and stirrups are exhibited and published here for the first time. Dating from the 13th to the 20th century, these objects include some of the finest examples of Himalayan ironwork embellished with gold and silver and extremely rare decorated leatherwork"
