明初士卒 - Early Ming dynasty soldiers

Continuing where I last left off (many months ago haha);

Early to mid-Ming dynasty Chinese soldiers; based on (supposedly) contemporary paintings. "Supposedly", because while the Baoning temple (宝宁寺) paintings are confirmed to be from the early Ming, the 真武灵应图册 are debated to be either from the reign of Emperor Yongle (early 15th c.) right up to the end of the Ming dynasty (mid 17th c.).
