Persian \'polo player\' designs - where have you seen them?

Looking for other parallels to this kind of thing (textiles/clothing included):



And would love to hear about them either here, or at my (slight brag) post on my newly-matching barware, here:

Thanks all! Look forward to hearing whether you've seen this before. I suspect there are more knocking around...

Those are great glasses -- I have a pair of these also! It's great that you've found a tray to match.

Men on horseback and preparing to duel are a popular Persian theme -- and are most often a depiction of a young Mohammed and his youthful exploits, in tales from the Koran.

What a terrific set of glasses! Great color and motif, and you even have the matching tray! Nice score...

I have a large Soure purse with trapunto velveteen work that features the Persian men on horseback motif--doesn't sound like a likely combination, but it works!
