In my opinion, however, a much more likely dedicatee was a similarly named but short-lived and far less prominent ruler of Mosul, Masʿūd Ibn Arslan Shāh al-Malik al-Qāhir ʿIzz al-Dīn (Masʿūd II), who reigned, at least nominally, from 1211 to 1218.

A little known inlaid bronze candlestick-holder shows late Ayyubid or early Mamluk cavalrymen fighting with various weapons. Some ride elaborately caparisoned horses which also have chamfrons to protect their heads. Here a horse-archer carries no other weapon and has no visible armour, whereas the trooper with a long lance also has a sword and a lamellar jawshan cuirass. (Private coll., Rome, author's photo).
