There are some interesting mosaics of biblical scenes in the Cathedral (Duomo) of Sant'Evasio, Casale Monferrato, Italy :
Italian Knights in 'Abram Defeats the Four Kings', Cathedral of Sant'Evasio, Casale Monferrato, Italy, probably early 12th century. The kings have small round shields rather than kite shields.
