Located in San Francisco, CA
This artifact is an Indo-Persian Kulah Khud helmet, a traditional style of head armor used across Persia, India, and the Ottoman Empire from the 17th to the 19th centuries. This traditional Indo-Persian Kulah Khud helmet is primarily made of forged steel.

The darkened, brownish finish on this specific piece is a natural patina, indicating oxidized steel that has weathered over time from environmental exposure and age. The outer bowl features extensive hand-engraved scrollwork, typical of the decorative styles popularized during the Safavid and Qajar periods. Such Indo-Persian helmets...
