拍品专文

Long guns such as the present example with a swallow tail-stock curving upwards are traditionally made in Albania or Northern Greece and called rasak. They are often fully metal-encased and show a great diversity in their decoration as they were often made after individual's specifications (Anthony C. Tirry, Islamic Weapons, Maghrib to Moghul, Washington, 2003, p.156-7). This is a particularly richly decorated example.
