Jafari warrior of slavic origin, and a slave, like most of the soldiers who formed part of the troops of Abd al-Rhaman III, the first Andalusian Caliph. In this case we can see a horseman wearing a hauberk under his tunic, and brandishing a double-edged sword (the so-called Frankish sword). A wooden shield hanging on one side of his horse completes his panoply. (10th century AD).
