Around the rim, ‘This inlaid helmet on the head of the brave hero Is more beautiful than a mighty king’s crown or a Caesar’s diadem It is made of steel and set with gold and silver It is adorned with stars like the Eighth heaven It is a Leo flying around that which is most worthy This royal-winged, auspicious one, riding a piebald steed In short, on the head of that fortunate sultan This helmet is like the sun that rises over the head of the mountain'

Some countries prohibit or restrict the purchase and/or import of Iranian-origin property. Bidders must familiarise themselves with any laws or shipping restrictions that apply to them before bidding on these lots. For example, the USA prohibits dealings in and import of Iranian-origin “works of conventional craftsmanship” (such as carpets, textiles, decorative objects, and scientific instruments) without an appropriate licence. Christie’s has a general OFAC licence which, subject to compliance with certain conditions, would enable a buyer to import certain lots of this type into the USA. If you intend to use Christie’s licence, please contact us for further information before you bid
