<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 1253066, member: 10944"]I did some more looking and I can up with Mamluk, Syrian it Egyptian maybe. Mamluk was a warrior/knight slave caste. They held a high place in some societies but could be bought as slaves I guess. Very interesting juxtaposition. Napoleons personal body guard was Mamluk. Lots of animals like mine in their imagery. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]216019[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216020[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216021[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216022[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]216023[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
