Tibetan Cavalry welcomed American envoys sent to the then 7 year old Dalai Lama by president Roosevelt in 1942. Note the typical Tibetan quiver, related to Islamic quivers harking back to the times of the Mongolian invasions.
Such quivers are often mistaken for Chinese quivers, some of which had similar construction but which are typically much shorter and wider.
