A sword from the Jacques Desenfans collection by the same maker and bearing the same inscriptions was sold in these rooms (The Jacques Desenfans Collection, 10 April 2008, lot 208).

Carrying such a sword 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.
