Dekorativ Kulah-Khud hjälm - Järn (gjutjärn/smidesjärn) - Indien - slutet av 1900-talet
Original Indo-Persian decorative Kulah-Khud helmet with gold and silver inlays.
The helmet is hand-hammered of one piece solid steel. The interior show hammer marks, while the exterior surface is smooth.
The helmet is adorned with an elongated pyramidal top spike. It holds a curved nasal spike on front and two plum holders a side.
The entire surface of the skull is finely hand-chiseled and hand-engraved showing several figures, floral ornaments and a broad band of calligraphy to the base. Gold and silver wire inlays decorate the helmet over its entire hemisphere. Please see all attached pictures for details.
Please note that all shown gold and silver details are not just painted on top of the helmet but are wire inlays hammered into previously hand-engraved small channel lines into the helmet, spike, nasal spike and plum holders.
The helmet has its original, very well preserved chain mail, falling in six points.
The helmet has an inner circumference of ca 60 cm. It has a height from the top of the central spike to the lowest end of the chain mail of ca 53 cm and to the end of the helmet skull (without chain mail) of ca 25 cm.
Disclaimer
I want to clarify that the helmet is not repaired nor supplemented. All helmet components are original.
The helmet will be perfectly packed and fixated in an oversize parcel to ensure a secure transport.
