Outfitted and equipped in the same manner as 803/SW1 this particular Archer is in addition wearing the 'Jingasa', the conical or bowl-shaped "war hat" designed for combat and mass production. These "war hats" were typically made of lacquered iron, leather or wood and provided basic protection against downward blows and both the sun and inclement weather. In addition, clan and unit crests would often be painted at the front of each hat which would be attached by rope or cloth chin straps to the wearer's head. Cloth sunscreens are also attached to each "war hat" to shield the neck and sides of the head.
