Inlaid with important inscriptions in silver, this elegant 15th-century helmet was designed to accommodate a turban inside that would be representative of the rank or religious order of the owner. The helmet would have been affixed with a protective aventail, leaving only the wearer’s eyes visible – the warriors who wore them are described as “looking like young lions”. Swipe for two further examples. These works will be offered at auction in London on 27 October, to benefit the LA Mayer Museum for Islamic Art. Proceeds from the sale will help ensure the long-term future of the museum (a privately funded entity), while at the same time allowing for further development of key initiatives and programmes around the promotion of inter-cultural dialogue – something that has long been key to the museum’s mission and that features large in its founding principles. The guiding principle behind the selection of lots for sale was to ensure the integrity of the museum’s collection remain intact. #SothebysMiddleEast #IslamicArt #فنإسلامي ‎#‏ ‏#حضارة_‏‏العرب_‏والمسلمين ‏ ‏」10月9日 17時12分
