Riding their Arabian stallions, Alma and her companion charge into battle with swords raised high. The horses themselves are a symbol of Arab culture and heritage, illustrating the deep connection between the Bedouin people and their majestic steeds. The powerful motion of the horses, their manes flowing in the wind, adds a sense of energy and movement to the composition.

This modest gate, which opens from a wall tower, is one of the newest gates of Jerusalem. At the time when Suleiman the Magnificent built the city walls in the 1530s, a small wicket gate was situated in the eastern, lateral wall of the tower, which was rarely opened. Formerly, the sprawling residential area within this gate was known as Bezetha (effectually translated as "New City"), settled during the late Second Temple period to accommodate Jerusalem's growing population.  More on Harold's Gate

"Listen up, everyone!" Elma's voice emerged strong and resolute, cutting through the noise of the aftermath. Her troops turned their attention towards her, their weary eyes filled with a mix of exhaustion and anticipation for her next words.

"We have fought valiantly today," she declared, her voice carrying a sense of pride and determination. "But the time has come to rest, regroup, and plan our next moves."
