Mamilla Mamluk Cemetery

A Solomon’s seal on a tombstone in old Mamilla, or Ma’man Allah(Sanctuary of God), a 13th century Mamluk Cemetery, which used to be, until 1948, Jerusalem’s main Muslim cemetery.

what is the story behind the Star of David on the left hand side?

I guess the answer is connected to the Mamluks who used the hexagrams also on the walls of Jerusalem.
