Today's entry features me in my best attempt at emulating the scourge of the crusaders, Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb, more commonly called Saladin.<br />
<br />
The Turban is ridiculously warm, and I was having trouble keeping the Jambiya(the knife) in. I hope to improve upon this in later years.<br />
This is partial inspired by this photo of Saladin:<br />

And I hope one day to be as able to make something as awesome as this from Kingdom of Heaven. :)<br />

I am trying to base it on someone from the region that is now Azerbaijan. To do this I put a Kindjal on the costume. The kindjal is a knife/sword that is part of the national dress of most of the people of the Caucasus region, including, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Chechnya, and the Circassians.<br />
Most of the costume was made by a good friend of mine. <br />
I will be working more on this one :)<br />
