A SILVER-DAMASCENED 'DRAGON' IRON HELMET, 14TH-17TH CENTURY 十四至十七世紀錯銀龍紋鐵頭盔Tibet. The exterior of the helmet made from nine curved platelets, seven of which are decorated with sinuous dragons, joined by nine scalloped rims with prominent central ribs, the upper tips of the ribs notched to enclose the base of the double knot plume. The front of the helmet reinforced with a scalloped plate decorated with a dragon head at the center framed by two further sinuous dragons. The lower edge of the helmet pierced to secure the three-tiered neck guard. Provenance: New York trade. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Some wear, casting flaws, corrosion, encrustations, minor nicks and losses, light scratches. The silver inlays are well preserved.Weight: 1,980 g Dimensions: Height 42.9 cmThis type of segmented Tibetan helmet, used originally with a coat of lamellar armor, was probably derived from Sasanian Persian helmets of the 3rd century CE. During the 14th-17th century, Tibet was a disunited country where a number of regional secular rulers allied to religious orders vied for power and in which warfare was not uncommon. A sizeable armor production in Tibet was the result of this situation. The present helmet, with fine silver inlays depicting fierce dragons, is a rare example of this group.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related iron helmet, dated to the 14th-17th century, Tibet, in the collection of the National Museums Scotland, reference number A.1909.406 A.
