A Napoleonic gilt-bronze medallion in a fitted case,19th century, depicting the emperor in profile, the red leather case inscribed in gilt lettering 'Donnee Par S. M. L'Empereur A Mr Roustam Ier Mameluc',7.7cm diametercase 9.5cm wide9.5cm deepThe inscription on the case of this medallion suggests it was presented by Emperor Napoleon to Roustam Raza, Premier Mameluc.Roustam Raza was Napoleon's Mamluk bodyguard and secondary valet. Having been taken into slavery from his home city of Tbilisi, Georgia, by the Egyptians, Roustam was gifted to Napoleon in 1798 by the sheikh of Cairo, following the successful French campaign in Egypt. He served the Emperor for 15 years until his exile. The use of the phrase 'premier Mameluc' in this inscription is notable and alludes to the fact that Napoleon had a second Mamluk, Mamluk Ali who joined his service in 1812, after which time Roustam would have referred to himself as the premier mamluk to denote his seniority. This may indicate that whoever inscribed the box knew of this arrangement and was probably following the owner's instructions, rather than someone simply inscribing a text.A letter from the British Museum, Department of Coins and Medals, dated December 1964, suggests that this medal matches the description of one shown in both Trésor de Numismatique and Bramsen which is said to have been produced in December 1813.Condition report: the case is worn with damage to the hinge and loss to the surface leather, the medallion with light surface scratches, the case possibly made later to house the medallion
