Le bazuband en revêtement en or gravé et décoré de scènes de bataille et de motifs végétaux. La dague à poignée en corne et inscriptions gravées sur la lame. Masse: L. 83.4 cm A Qajar steel mace, bazuband and horn-hilted dagger, Persia, 19th Century.

The bazuband engraved and decorated in gold overlay with battle scenes and vegetal motifs. The dagger with horn hilt and etched inscriptions to blade. (3) Footnotes: La masse à tête de bœuf est associée au héros du Shâhnâmeh, Bahram Gur, qui a fabriqué son arme en mémoire de la vache qui l'a nourri. D'autres héros, dont Feridun et Rustam, en ont ensuite hérité. Un exemple de masse à tête de bœuf se trouve au Metropolitan Museum, New York, Acc. No. 36.25.1882. The ox-headed mace is associated with the hero of the Shahnama, Bahram Gur, who made his weapon in the memory of the cow that nursed him.
