Summary
| Description |
English: Reconstruction of Saladin's personal standard, using a double headed eagle. The specific design of double headed eagle is taken from a coin of a later Ayyubid Sultan, Al-Adil I. Saladin, the Sultan of Egypt, carried a yellow banner emblazoned with an eagle, possibly inherited from the Zengid dynasty.[1] The Cairo Citadel has a carving of an eagle believed to depict Saladin's emblem, which is missing its heads. According to the Ottoman researcher Evilya Çelebi, it likely originally had two heads,[2] but the carving is commonly depicted with a single head, such as by the Egyptian government on stamps, and in the Lebanese book Saladin: The Story of the Conflict Between the East and West in the 12th and 13th Centuries. |
