Russian collection of Indian arms and armor an exhibition in Brussels.

[ariel]

A book with that title is not on the Bookfinder site.

However, there was an exhibition of Indian and Chinese arms in Russia in 2015: “ Mortal beauty”. The catalog is bilingual (Russian and English) and is superb, with serious academic articles on the topic.
The objects came from 2 private Russian collections of Indian arms and from 1 collection of Chinese arms. They are by and large utilitarian, but there are some with more or less decorative elements.

IMHO, these 2 exhibitions are unrelated: same year, and the Belgian one ( from what I see on very few available pics) is more “ luxury- oriented” .

If anyone here finds a source for the Belgian exhibition catalogue, please post it here.

I am not sure it will add anything to the already available information , especially after Elgood’s
monumental books on Jaipur and Jodhpur arsenals, but hope springs eternal and Pope is always right:-)

P.S. Also not on Bookfinder site
