專家說明

The inscription, like many on such armour, is not easy to read. Part of it appears to read wa ajal (and the hour of death).

Two similar examples are in the Military Museum in Istanbul (nos. 22582/10 and 16558). Two other related examples are in the Khalili Collection (David Alexander, The Arts of War, The Nasser D,. Khalili Collection of Islamic Art, Oxford, 1992, pp. 84-5, nos. 36 & 37), while three further examples have been sold at Sotheby's London 11 October 1996, lot 60, and 15 October 2003, lots 74 and 75.
