Rear views of muslim warriors showing how armour looks at the back are not common. Here are some from the 14th century:
Ilkhanid Soldiers in the 'Demotte' Shahnameh, A Battle Scene, Tabriz, c.1340-1350 This also shows some unusual neck armour.
Mamluk cavalryman on a pen box by Ahmad al DhakiRavan, king of Lanka and king of the demons, lies dead before Rama, a scene from the Indian epic, the Ramayana in the 1305-14 Jami' al-Tawarikh by Rashid al-Din.Cavalry pursue enemies in the Diez_Album, an early 14th century copy of Jami' al-Tawarikh by Rashid al-Din, TabrizKing Minuchihr of Iran kills the fleeing Turanians in the illustrations of Jalayrid Mongols from a late 14th Century Shahnama, Fatih Album (Hazine 2153) of the Saray AlbumsDruzhina

Interesting how the fleeing cav don't do any Parthian shots. So these are real routing guys, not just "fleeing". |

Unfortunately the Diez album was made by cutting the pictures out of a manuscript, so there is no text to give a better idea of what is happening, but, scabbards and bowcases are empty. Druzhina
