Heavy Cavalryman from Azerbaijan Atabegs
"Three thousand of those who were called Agulani were said to be present, and they were afraid neither of swords, lances, arrows, nor any kind of arms, because they and their horses were covered with armor everywhere." was the commentary of Peter Tudebode, a priest of Poitou, France, who had born witness to the terrible presence of the Agulani Horsemen in the Seljuk armies at the siege of Antioch in the First Crusade.

The really look like barbarians, like something out of Conan the Barbarian. That said they look very heavily armed and outfitted with sophisticated weapons and armor. They would have been a fearsome sight.

Angus McBride was an awesome illustrator.

Bildigim kadariyla Büyük Selçuklu Devleti'ne atfedilen ilk resimdeki bayrak uydurmadir.

Exactly, I'm a big fan of his work.

Doğru olabilir. Ama çift-başlı kartal motifinin Selçuklu devrinde birçok yerde kullanıldığını görüyoruz, dediğin gibi bayrak olarak kullanılmamış olabilir ancak çift-başlı kartal Selçuklularla bir nevi özdeşleşmiş.

It`s probably a variant of Tuğrul image. Already the first sultan of Seljuks was named as Er-Tuğrul. Btw Tuğrul was an important symbol in Khazar empire too. There are some archeological findings with bird images from Khazars.
