    Depictions of the Byzantine folk hero Digenis Akritas, 12th century
    You may have seen a drawing of Diogenes Akritas on a Byzantine plate, supposedly the only illustration of shoulder tufts mentioned in Leo VI's Tactica. Here is a colour photo of the actual plate:
    Digenis (Diogenes) Akritas fights the dragon

    And other depictions of Diogenes Akritas:
    Digenis Akritas slays the dragon with five arrows
    Digenis Akritas saves a princess abandoned in the desert
    Digenis Akritas Fights a Beast
