119 Ceramic fragment from Athens Agora, Byzantine, 12 Cent. (Byzantine Museum, Athens, Greece)
A remarkably fine piece of Byzantine pottery showing a spear-armed horseman apparently using a saddle with a high western European style of pommel. He has a conventional lamellar cuirass, probably worn over a short-sleeved hauberk. Such armour would be feasible in twelfth-century Byzantium.
