Russian collection of Indian arms and armor, as well as objects of art at an exhibition in Brussels.

The exhibition: Fight – Pray – Love will focus on Moghul and Sikh arms and
armours from an important private European collection.
The exhibition focus on the role of weaponry in acts of workship and rituals; its sacred role in the quotidian world and in religious ceremonies and the techniques; the design and decoration symbolism intervening in its manufacture, and on the wider role this material and metaphysical phenomenon has had to play.

Was published exhibition catalog. At the exhibition a lecture Robert Elgood:
“North Indian weapons and warriors”.

Catalog: A. Bartholomew "Fight-Pray-Love" Brussels, 2015. Foreword: Jonathan Barrett

Thank you for sharing Mahratt.

I am very pleased to see Mr Bartholomew's collections of arms, armour and sculpture exhibited and catalogued, he has dedicated a lot of time and effort to put his collection together...I hope others follow in his foot steps.

Many thanks for bringing so many good recent exhibitions to light, arms and armour romance lives on strong.

Gavin
