i know the yakuts where a horsed people, but i never knew if they ever had metal weapons or not.

does anyone have any representations of weaponry used by the yakuts, yukaghirs, oirats, ect.?

ive been curious for a while as to weather certain siberian peoples knew metallurgy and could fashion swords/knives, ect or if they just continued to rely on stone/wood/bone weapons up to the russian conquest era.
