The Armour Archive

On page 41 of Osprey's Byzantine Infantryman, Warrior series, they have an illustration from a ceramic plate of a hero wielding a curved sword and a dagger (or two swords) to slay a beast.

Though it says the image was from a ceramic plate, it also says the image was drawn by David Irwin. So it is secondary or tertiary documentation at the best.

Does anyone have a link to the original source material? Try as I might I can't find it

For those that don't have that book, could you post a pic? I'm pretty good at web searches, but need to know what I am looking for.

For example, I have no idea if either of these are useful:

I'll take it to work with me today and try to scan it. I'm out of my office on an outreach program most of the day.

The picture is too big to post.

Here is a link.
