Mameluke flag over cairo according to the catalan atlas c. 1375 created by james dahl. The golden banner is supposedly identical to the ayyubid banner. All mameluke flags shared the golden colour and the rounded swallowtail. Warning: this image is highly speculative. The main source pointing to this design is the catalan atlas, which as a historical primary source cannot be considered a reliable reference, especially if it is the only source used. This image should not be added to articles without clearly indicating its speculative nature. Note that fotw (where most of those flags on commons are adapted from) is based on user contributions like wikipedia, and hence not authoritative either.
