Inscription: 'Sarkar Mir Nizam 'Alikhan Bahadur 1192 [1778-1779]'
This body armour or cuirass is of near identical form to another example in the Khalili Collection (inv. MTW 1157, David Alexander, The Arts of War, The Nasser D. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art, Oxford, 1992, no. 108, p. 175). That cuirass shares with ours the same inscription giving the name of the Nizam 'Ali Khan, indicating that these were both at one stage in the armoury of the second Nizam of Hyderabad of the same name (r.1762 - 1803).
