These were chosen for the interesting headgear the man on far left is obviously wearing a turban but what is the man to his right wearing? The guy on the right is obviously the Lord or Patron they seem to be playing to him and his Headdress is more elaborate.

Same Guy (leader patron whatever..)apparently on the left. Note that he seems to be wearing a different colored tunic on the bottom than what is on his Torso. Check out the musician, he has has a big ol' honkin turban. Notice the Round Collars on all the Tunics which seem to very loose flowing. also the bared and unveiled heads of the ladies of the court (harem??) Also just what is that vaguely bong-like thing being handed to our Prince????

Note the Crenellations at the top of her Headdress (with the Crescent in center) also dig the Shoes these folks are wearing. Notice the Left Shoulder of the dude in purple on the right, Is that Trim or is that an epaulette of Some Kind?. Notice also the appearance of 2 robes of an indeterminate Cut
