Are there any Russian language books with illustrations of native Siberian warriors and weapons one can recommend? I have the large format book with color illustrations of ancient Siberian warriors and weapons, but was curious about what else is out there.

How is this book? Does it have many illustrations of Siberian warriors?

There are many illustrations in this book, but there are only five reconstructions of warriors (one of them in color is on the cover), and you have almost all seen them in this topic.

Add a book:

Leonid A. Bobrov, July S. Khudjakov - ARMAMENT AND TACTICS OF THE NOMADS OF CENTRAL ASIA AND SOUTHERN SIBERIA DURING THE LATE MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN AGES (15th — first half of the 18th century A.D.)

Here for example:

What's that shoulder-mounted shield around the archer in the last image for? It's really wild!

This is a book about Chukchi warriors. Since the Chukchi had big problems with metal, they used wooden and bone armor. And what you see is a fairly common variety.
By the way, the Chukchi had a reputation of highly skilled and ferocious warriors. All the neighboring nations suffered greatly from them aggression and the Russians had big problems in order to conquer these territories.

In fact, this armor performs the function of a regular shield.

Thank you for the information! Where might one be able to find a copy of Bobrov's book on Central Asia and South Siberia?

This is already a rarity. Just buy "second hands" if you're lucky. I only have an electronic copy.

I have also found and downloaded an electronic copy this evening. I don't read Russian, but I'm glad to have it as a visual reference for the variety of illustrations of warriors and weapons. I was lucky to purchase an English translation of the Chukchi Warfare book. It is an excellent reference.

Very interesting! Thanks once again, Cuprum!
