Oh, it worked! Thanks for the help Angel. Curiously enough, within ten minutes of uploading that photo, it has over a hundred views and ten comments, which surprised me, I did not expect it to get any attention. I provided as much details as possible about him, but I was unable to locate where exactly the picture came from online, as I was unable to find it in Google.
Oh, these are the details I put for the picture:
Photo by Bourne & Shepherd, India, circa 1850-1930, probably of an Indian state executioner, but I have not been able to find his name. He may have also been a soldier or warrior due to he holding a shield and wearing armor. His sword appears to be a tulwar, and his shield seems to be made of iron or bronze, and has a symbol of a crescent above the bosses.
This is one of the rare examples of historic spiked/bladed armor, but it probably was not used on the battlefield, as it would potentially be a sharp and poky annoyance for comrades. This example seems to consist of square plates riveted onto a canvas, with added shoulder guards, vambraces, and a spiked/bladed helmet. No-one's gonna touch him.
Unfortunately, I do not know the exact original source this came from or which digital user first uploaded this photo to the internet, but I will try to find out if possible. There is a rather transparent "fxk19" in the center of the picture.
