The coat of arms is a European device which was adopted by some Indian rulers, and in 1819 the court painter Robert Home designed the first Oudh coat of arms for the coronation Ghazi-ud-Din Haider Shah (reg. 1818-1827). This consisted of a lion and a tiger as the supporting animals but several variations were subsequently used, such as that on the present lot, until, during the reign of Wajid Ali Shah (reg. 1847-1856), the animals were replaced by a pair of mermaids. The shape of the blade derives from the short swords called nimcha carried by merchant sailors in the 16th and 17th Century.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
