Does anyone make these? Does more than one company? The DBA list for Early Muslim North Africa and Sicily calls for these but I can't find them anywhere. |

Early Berbers would probably look much like 6th-century pre-Muslim Moors in simple tunic and cloak. Later on, well, the Murabits and Almohads are Berbers, so by the 11th century you'd be looking at figures in robes and veiled turbans. So depending on your date a lot of "Arab" and "Andalusian" figures would be usable. Remember the Spanish heart-shaped adarga shield was introduced apparently by Zanata Berbers in the 12th century. So think about what date you're representing. Donnington certainly do figures specifically sold as Berber cavalry – link |

Lurkio's Moors would also do. |

Which lines do the Old Donningtons and Lurkios mix with? |
