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 skull bowl was fashioned from a single sheet of wrought iron or low-carbon steel, which was meticulously hammered, visible in photo #6, over a mold to form a uniform, protective dome. Forged either of iron or a matching steel alloy, the sharp spear-point spike mounted at the absolute top of the dome served a psychological and combative purpose to deflect downwards sword blows. Also attached is a vertical metal strip running down the center front, a nasal guard designed to protect the user's face. The two small, angled metal sockets on the front flanks were designed to hold decorative feathers (such as heron or egret plumes) during military parades or court displays. 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...

This exceptionally beautiful and rare silver-inlaid brass tray stand dates from the medieval period, when the Mamluks ruled Egypt and Syria (1250-1517). The Mamluks originated as slave-soldiers, who served the Muslim caliphs and Ottoman Empire. With time, the Mamluks became a powerful military caste, and they managed to take control and establish themselves as rulers of certain areas within the Abbasid caliphate. The Mamluk dynasty commissioned great works of art and architecture, particularly in Cairo, the capital city of Egypt, which was described in the 14th Century as ‘the centre of the universe and garden of the world’ (Ibn Khaldun, 1382). This tray stand is of biconical form, with a raised central band and flared base and rim. It is decorated with scrolling vines, overlaid with Thuluth inscriptions and roundels. On the lower body, the roundels contain floral motifs, and in the upper, stylised depictions of birds. The Thuluth inscriptions praise the patron, referring to him as ‘The High authority, the Lordly, the Possessor’, and ‘the learned’. The underside of the rim is engraved with a heraldic medallion, possibly the patron’s symbol. In the middle ages, when this piece was made, this item would have stood in a grand interior, supporting a tray full of fruit and fine food. The owner of this lavish piece which still bears traces of its original silver inlay would likely have been an Amir (prince) or some other important figure who was close to the Sultan in the Mamluk court. Mamluk tray...
