Description: Detail of a depiction of a Misl-era (Sikh Confederacy) Sikh cavalry warrior from a map of the Lahore Subah (provincial subdivision of the Mughal Empire) commissioned by Jean Baptiste Joseph Gentil, ca.1770. "... set facing in opposition to the invading Afghan horseman as per the decades of struggle that characterise the mid 18th century battle for Punjab." (Kashi House description) [Uploader's note: identified as possibly an Akali-Nihang or an early iteration of the sect by Kashi House though I personally disagree with this assessment and believe there were little differences at this point of time between martial Sikh groups and these differences would develop and become more pronounced later-on in time.]
