Christian amulet?

Hey Erlikhan,

Am fairly certain have seen similar boars tusk amulets mounted on Ottoman 17-18th C. horsetrappings, something about a talisman for a warrior.

The Christian cross could indiacte the possiblity of Armenian, or Georgian cavalry which the Ottomans used often. The Armenians in particular were known for high quality cavalry regiments.

The Persians also used the Armenian cavalry when they controled Armenia.
