An interesting and rare illustration of mounted crossbowmen in the middle-east. The Freer Canteen, an Islamic inlaid metal flask with Christian motifs, early 13th century AD, Ayyubid Jazirah. The top of the Freer Canteen, with scenes from the Gospels. The base of the Freer Canteen, with friezes of saints and horsemen including mounted crossbowmen. The frieze of horsemen on the base and an extract from The Freer Canteen by Laura T. Schneider. A side view of the Freer Canteen It is not clear whether the horsemen are Christian or Muslim.
