Hello forum, I am Horsa the Anglo-Saxon - collector of Islamic arms, armour and art, and their European equivalents.

I'm mainly into maces, warhammers and axes.

Recently I visited Doha MIA and I have photos to share of this excellent, world class art collection. Fantastic art and a first class building too!

I took some photos while there.

Cheers!
Horsa
