Medieval 2 Total War - Machiavello mod Model for an Arab standard bearer for the Hafsid Caliphate. The model is a standard bearer with a square flag; the upward-pointing crescent is similar to that that can be traced to the “Catalan Atlas” collected by Charles V le Sage c. 1370, where it is attributed to the port city of Gabes; other references of Hafsid symbols in 15th Century manuscripts depicts also a crescent, or a double crescent, on a yellow flag. He is shown with a lamellar armour, in a fashion that may have been still in use in Arabian Africa; a revision of the model may give him a chainmail. The model is a combination of elements from the Crusaders Way to Expiation - OSP Pack developed for Mount & Blade Warband. PS: unfortunately i realized only after uploading that some items (the flagpole and the scabbard) have been assigned the wrong texture. I might correct it later on.
