A helmet in 17th Century style dating: Late 19th Century provenance: Ottoman Empire, Skull worked in a single piece with oblique grooves, featuring a flat base and a short cusp; the entire surface is engraved with spirals, the base decorated with cartouches featuring inscriptions in Arabic and spirals, with the tamga near the tip. The brim and cheek-pieces are riveted and decorated ensuite, the cheek-pieces are pierced in the middle. The nape-guard is slightly movable. Rows of rivets for the scabbard; on the inside, a row of hooks for the mail neck-defense. The nosepiece from a later period. The Tamga, generally identified as the mark of the St Irene arsenal, should instead be regarded as a generic Ottoman arsenal mark used to indicate armaments stored there, and not necessarily those produced there.
