What bottom part? It looks to me like Artabanus is wearing his leg harness, a doublet with a patterned weave, and is in the middle of removing his shirt of mail. He has reached the point where the shirt is turned inside out but still enfolding his arms and head when the king decides to put him out of his misery ...

Everyone on this forum has done that dance to remove a shirt of mail, right?

Here is another take on the same scene.
