Thread: Early 16th century Persian arquebusiers

    Lightbulb Early 16th century Persian arquebusiers

    There is a 16th century Persian arquebusier in Farud and Tukhvara view the Iranians from a mountain top from the Shahnama of Shah Tahmasp I of Persia, c. 1522-1540

    It is the only contemporary illustration of an early 16th century Persian arquebusier or musketeer I have come across. His red hat is similar to a cavalryman's in the same miniature but does not appear in other available miniatures from this shahnama.

    Does anyone have a contemporary illustration of early 16th century Persian arquebusiers or musketeers?
