More illustrations of Granadines

[Druzhina]

I have added 3 more large illustrations of Granadines to my collection of Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso X of Castile:
Panel 1 of Cantiga 28. an army portrayed as Granadine besieging a Christian fortress from Cantiga 28 - the 717–718AD Siege of Constantinople by the Arabs of the Umayyad Caliphate.
Panel 5 of Page 1 of Cantiga 165. Granadine cavalry on armoured horses & scale and maile armoured infantry from Cantiga 165 - The Celestial Knights who Protected the City of Tartus.
Panel 3 of Page 2 of Cantiga 187. Granadine cavalry and infantry from Cantiga 187 -  The Statue that Defended a Castle.

Those are rather spiffy...
Can't see a date when they were 'done'.
Have they been 'enhanced' ?

The manuscripts of the Cántigas of Alfonso X are dated c.1284 or sometimes earlier.

I don't think they have been deliberately enhanced but the brightness of reproductions can vary.
