A misk-i ambergris brooch bearing the name of Sultan Mahmoud Khan (Mahmoud II r., 1808 - 1839), Turkey, 19th century Molded ambergris plate with floral and beaded decoration, enclosing two enameled and gilded medallions inscribed in Arabic "Sultan Mahmoud Khan, 'izz nasrahu" (Sultan Mahmoud Khan, the glory of his victory). At the bottom, five pendants consisting of a striated amber ball and metal beads. Brooch-mounted. 6.4 x 4.3 cm Small cracks and traces of glue, oxidized clasp. Numerous legends have grown up around ambergris, making this material ever more mysterious: if the Chinese, 2000 years BC, called it "perfume", it's because ambergris is "amber".C. called it "dragon's slime perfume", Avicenna thought ambergris came from an underwater fountain, no doubt inspired by the Arabian Nights where Sindbad the sailor sees amber gushing from a spring before it is swallowed by sea monsters... In reality, it's a secretion that forms in the stomach or intestines of the sperm whale and is then expelled through the animal's natural channels. Fossilized by time, sea salt and sun, it is picked up from the surface of the water or washed up on beaches, where it is collected in blocks. Since ancient times, people have used it for medicinal, odoriferous and aphrodisiac purposes. From a medical standpoint, it has long been used as a remedy for asthma and epilepsy. The Arabs also used it to treat joints, digestive disorders, the heart and the brain. Arriving in Europe in the Middle Ages at a high price, it was worn as a necklace and breathed in to boost immunity against health scourges such as the plague. A powerful scent-fixing agent, ambergris was an essential component of 20th-century perfumes, but has now been replaced by synthetic accords. The aphrodisiac effect of ambergris was recognized as early as ancient China. In 18th-century Europe, libertines such as the great Casanova used it to perfume their hot chocolate to invigorate them. The resin was also used to perfume women's gloves and could be consumed in the form of lozenges. The seductive power of ambergris did not escape the Ottoman sultans, who consumed it daily in the form of tablets dissolved in hot coffee. In the mid-17th century, historian Evliya Çelebi mentions the existence of 35 ambergris stores in Constantinople. Sometimes mixed with honey, another Ottoman recipe added rose perfume (attar), sandalwood, spruce resin, rice powder, gum arabic and hyacinth water. The paste was rolled to a fine thickness, then pressed into finely decorated molds and dried to produce hard tablets. A small piece was then detached and placed in a small gold or silver box attached to the inside of the coffee cup. The inscriptions such as "bien-être" and "santé" frequently found on these tablets are a reminder of their healing and stimulating powers, which earned them their French nickname of "pastilles du sérail".
