拍品专文

The Talpur rulers of Sindh were avid collectors of fine arms and armour. The British physician James Burnes, who visited Hyderabad in 1827, recorded that the family maintained a network of agents across Iran and the Ottoman Empire that supplied them with valuable swords and gun barrels, and that members of the court placed great value on high-quality swords with illustrious provenance (James Burnes, A Narrative of a Visit to the Court of Sinde, Edinburgh, 1831, pp. 93-6).
