A silver-mounted miquelet rifle Algeria, dated AH 1263/ AD 1846the watered steel barrel clasped by five repoussé silver capouchines decorated in floral and scrolling vine designs, the wood stock, forestock and fishtail butt set with mounted pierced openwork silver panels in floral and scrolling vine designs, inscription below the lock 160 cm. longFootnotes:Inscription: 'Amal Muhammad, 1263 / 'The work of Muhammad, 1263 (AD 1846).'The present lot is of the distinctive 'Kabyle' long gun type associated with Algeria and Tunisia. The colonial French government (1830-1962) imposed severe gun ownership laws on the native Algerian population, restricting Algerians to single-shot black powder arms up to the twentieth century; this contributed to the continued profusion of long guns in French Algeria (Anthony C.

The four walls are covered with curtains (kiswah), such as the present lot, and are encircled by a band (hizam) embroidered with text from the Qur'an. The practice of decorating the Ka'ba dates back to pre-Islamic times and the Prophet Muhammad himself witnessed the ceremony of the covering of the Ka'ba as a six-year-old child. Under the Mamluks, Egypt became the supplier of the kiswah, and it became traditional to change it annually. Production in Egypt continued under the Ottomans until 1927 when it was decided that the King of Saudi Arabia should provide the textiles, and production was moved to Arabia, where it continues today. When the kiswah and the hizam were replaced, they were cut up and reserved for important dignitaries such as the Sharif of Mecca, but some fragments were also allowed to be sold in special shops near the Bab al-Salam.A comparable panel presented by King Fahd in 1985 is in the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilisation (SM 2006-1465). Another, dated 2003, was loaned to the British Museum by the King Abdul Aziz Public Library, Saudi Arabia, for the Hajj exhibition in 2012.

(Portraits): as stated on the title page, Prince Frederick was President of the Norfolk and Norwich Archaeological Society between 1925-26.B. (Papers): under the Society's Proceedings for 1926, there is an account of a speech given by a Mr W. R. Rudd about the late Prince Frederick. He 'spoke sympathetically of the loss the Society had sustained through the death of Prince Frederick Duleep Singh, and on his proposition it was agreed to send a letter of condolence to the family. All the members, he was sure, deeply regretted the untimely death of their President. When the Prince was elected there was a feeling that the Society had departed from its usual practice of choosing not only a good antiquary, but a Norfolk man. But in this case they had been most fortunate, for they had had in the presidency one who not only inherited the charming manners of his Oriental forebears, but had many of the attributes of an English gentleman. Prince Frederick's interest in Norfolk and everything pertaining to Norfolk was almost pathetic in its intensity. He was an antiquary with a reputation that spread far beyond the borders of Norfolk; and, above all, he was a modest man. He was one of the most popular presidents the Society ever had, and all the members felt that by his death they had lost a friend' (p. viii).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Carrying such a blade would be of particular significance to a Muslim warrior who would see the ladder as a symbolic vehicle for entry into paradise should he fall in battle.

A miniature portrait of Nasr al-Din Shah Qajar (reg. 1848-96) in a diamond-set silver frame Persia, 19th Centurycomprising an oval portrait of the Shah in gouache on ivory behind glass, set in a openwork silver foliate scrollwork frame set with diamonds, hinged stand to back 8.6 cm. highFootnotes:ProvenancePrivate UK collection. The present lot relates closely to the Order of the Imperial Effigy, though it lacks the one, two or three rows of diamonds surrounding the portrait which denoted the three classes of the order. The practice of awarding jewel set decorations bearing the Imperial Effigy can be seen as part application of imperial statecraft; part projection of Qajar dynastic power; and as the personal award of the sovereign in exchange for services of the highest degree. It was awarded to the most senior courtiers of the highest distinction, such as ambassadors and envoys extraordinary, in Persia and occasionally to foreigners of exalted rank. Deriving from exchanges of diplomatic gifts of miniature portraiture between Napoleonic France, Tsarist Russia, and rival Ottoman Turkey, the Qajar Order of the Imperial Effigy was a useful tool in the gift of the Shah both nationally and internationally. However, in the early 19th Century it was seen as secondary to the supreme grade of the Order of the Lion and Sun. Such occurred in 1828-29 when the British diplomat Sir John Kinneir Macdonald was presented with First Class of the Order of the Lion and Sun. The Shah, Fath Ali, intended to give the same award to Macdonald's assistant, Dr John McNeill, but Macdonald objected and McNeill was given instead a portrait of Fath 'Ali Shah in traditional dress set within a frame of diamonds. As a projection of dynastic power, it was Muhammad Shah Qajar (ruled 1834-48) who adopted the custom of wearing a portrait miniature of his father, Fath 'Ali Shah, as part of his recently adopted European-style uniform (cf Julian Raby, Qajar Portraits, London, 1999). In so doing he was reinforcing Qajar dynastic legitimacy and setting a precedent for his son Nasr al-Din Shah who continued the practice by wearing the effigy of his father. As a decoration, it was Nasr al-Din Shah who established its primacy within the Order of the Lion and Sun, when, in 1848, the Imperial Portrait was formally instituted as the highest class of the Order of the Lion and Sun. From 1907 it was awarded in three classes with three, two and one rows of diamonds surrounding the portrait.The item within this lot containing ivory has been registered in accordance with the Ivory Act (Section 10), reference no.
