Visible behind the rider's back are a quiver with arrows and a bow. In the middle ground and background, groups of Muslim warriors are positioned, among whom riders on spirited steeds stand out. Set against the backdrop is the silhouette of a Middle Eastern city, beyond which a mountain range rises.
