Most of these are of warrior saints, but, the Deposition scene shows ordinary soldiers. Do the helmets have nasals even though they are flesh coloured?

Nubian Illustrations of Costume & Soldiers

the Deposition scene shows ordinary soldiers. Do the helmets have nasals even though they are flesh coloured?

The nasals are the same colour as the ball-finial on the top of the helmet (at least, looking at the helmet of the soldier at far right). I would see them as brass or copper fittings.

I agree with GurKhan, could be copper or bronze. But they could also represent leather or hide covered nasals?

The most interesting aspect for me are the soldier's padded coats--which correlates with later soft armour used in that area of the globe.

Thanks for the links, Druzhina.
