A larger image of this Tanbur player in the Cappella Palatina - The Painted Wooden Ceiling of the Palatine Chapel. Palermo, Sicily. 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.
