Iron mughal sheild
Hello,
Iron Indopersian sheild for comment. Around 18 inches with carved scenes of nobles doing whatever nobles did back then. Im thinking a parade sheild ? I was told it was pre 1900. Any thoughts? Regards Ron Last edited by RonHen; 12th June 2019 at 01:09 PM. |

Re
Kubur
I found this picture of the sheild from a auction before it was put up for sale again from the website I purchased it from. Are these types still considered indo Persian? Regards Ron Last edited by RonHen; 12th June 2019 at 05:13 PM. |

Dealers call them Indo-Persian when they are unable to say if they are Persians or Indians. In fact they are Persians OR Indians. Nevertheless to add to the confusion, since the 16th c. Mughals had Persian artists working for them. Many objects were produced in Northern India with an Iranian/Persian style. But for your shield there is nothing Indian in it and it has to be Persian. |

Hi,
Here's a steel Indian one, different style of decoration and chiseled rather than etched, ceremonial and probably Rajput. Regards, Norman. |
