You must admit they look preety gnarly... almost fooled me there for a moment...

1. Armure de Centaure dit "de Chiron" 1550, from Bucharest

2. Armure de Centaure dit "de Chiron" early 16th century, from Odessa

I believe these gravures belong to artist John Howe...
Dont you wish they were true ? ...

The armour reminds me of the movie, The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Nice movie by the way.

Now, Now Nechesh...I don't think anyone on this forum are prejudiced against centaurs. We all know that centaurs are people too (well...half anyway).

No offense intended, Nechesh, but every centaur I've known has been a horse's ass.


Very cool stuff, Radu. Thanks.

tooo funny...
Were all a little bit of centaurs, behind every face and deeds of a great man in the history there's a horse's ass and a woman... well, except perhaps Alexander the Great on its recent movie... the horse was great though...

I just watched that film the other night. I want my three hours back.

(You know it's a bad movie when even Angelina Jolie's presence doesn't help. )

Oh, that show! I was quite 'disturbed' by the 'pretty boy' dance in India.

Alexander's Khopis and his lion helm were very nice though!

And I love the scene where Alexander charged the elephant; it was just so raw and powerful!
