Eastern Romans had a lot Asiatic foideratoi.
Herakleios is considered to have brought up Avar fashions.
I have seen similar head gear in the Historical Museum Moscow,
It has been used by Russians Alans Georgians, Cumans either copied or looted
The armor could have traveled westwards with nercenaries or raiders.
Hope it helps.
I am a bit pissed of becasue the give a range between 900 to 1200 AD
Is too much of arange in my opinion
Kind regards
