This armour plate closely ressembles a piece in the Furusiyya Foundation published in Bashir Mohamed, dir., L'Art des Chevaliers en Pays d'Islam, Paris, 2007, cat.298, p.310. The form and damascened decoration of the two pieces are very close, with a cusped top and a large scrolling vine with birds.
