Back to the Horseman of Raqqa
Referenced on p33, MAA 171 - Saladin and the Saracens by David Nicolle:
"Early 12th-century large ceramic figure of a horseman fighting a dragon, from Raqqa, Syria. Note his straight sword, segmented helmet, and the decorations on his shield probably indicating a spiral cane-and-thread construction."
