Inscriptions: 'The work of [A]kbar bin Mulla Sadiq Isfahani'; in the square, letters 'B/D/U/H', (Biduh).Biduh is a talismanic word recorded as the name of a jinn or an angel capable of magic, used for protective purposes either in its full form or broken up into letters and placed in a square. 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). For a similar blade bearing the father's maker's mark and the magic square in the Furusiyya Art Foundation Collection, see Bashir Mohamed, The Arts of the Muslim Knight, Italy, 2007, no. 52.The finely watered steel blade exhibits the sought-after Kirk Narduban or Jacob's ladder pattern characterised by transversely oriented distortions of the pattern called 'steps'. 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.

Figiel, On Damascus Steel, Atlantis, 1991, pp. 70-71.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: YY Subject to CITES regulations when exporting items outside of the EU, see clause 13.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
