Tanbur player in The Painted Wooden Ceiling of the Palatine Chapel

Cappella Palatina

This tanbur player is most definitely Arab, with a very interestingly wrapped and tied turban.
Note the dot between his eyes and the three tiny dots on his hands and feet, and his carefully trimmed mustache and beard.
