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.

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.







Türk Polisinin armasında dahi bu 8 köşeli yıldız ve çift başlı kartal var.

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.
