18th C. Persian Qajar Khulah Khud

Status: Sold · Region: Middle East, Ottoman Turkey, Persia · Type: Helmets

The finest Khulah Khud I've seen for sale. This example is in nearly perfect condition. Almost all of the original gold remains in excellent condition. The bowl displays several tecniques each of the highest quality. The bowl is chiseled with a very fine clarity with caligraphy which retains some of the original silver overlay. The peacock is very finely formed and appears to sit on the skull. This type of helmet was only worn by the highest members of the Persian royal families. CLICK ON THUMBNAIL FOR MORE PICTURES
