Helmets shields and other pieces of this nonfunctional form with this style of koftgari were made in India, not Persia. They were for the Great Exhibition in 1851 that was held in the Crystal Palace in London. There are still a lot of them in England.

I've seen a number of maces with this motif ( different from the bulls head maces that were made in the same region ) over the years.
