>>10919160Did you even look at the painting? That monk is receiving and appraising a king, wearing the same shit he does when copying books, cooking food, and boiling water to wash their clothes.
They might have slept in their robes too, but that could be a joke i half remember.
And yeah, like in the clone Wars, priest who went to battle wore armor, while still wearing the trappings of their order.
Again, that's just Star Wars copying history.
George Lucas liked to pick and choose for rule of cool. Monks generally died at raids, instead of even defending themselves.
