What 王可伟 got it right, and all other modern painters/recreators got wrong, is the ubiquitousness of archery equipments. East of the Catholic sphere of influence, every horseman carried a composite recurve bow.
Ming cavalry: notice that beside the unarmed standard bearer, every horseman has a quiverful of arrows.
Tibetan: note the closed quiver.
Mughal: with typical non-Christian belt holster.
What they all had in common: archer's ring. Here's a fine example from India.
