Hi Anandalal,
The description states that this gun was presented to the Saxon Elector Christian I. by Francesco I. de Medici, Grand Duke of Toscana, in 1587. It also mentions, just as you noted, that the decoration of the stock with its lacquered surface reflects mixed influences of Portuguese, Indo-Muslim and Japanese traditions. Best, Michael |
