Hi Guys

I find it interesting that there are Stars of David on Islamic armor? Can anyone explain?

The hexagram in Islamic art is not referrred to as the Star of David but rather as the Khatam Suleiman, or King Solomon's Seal. Click on the third picture from the bottom in the link to see its use as an illustration in a Muslim book of prayers and excerpts from the Quran c. 1761

Thank you for sharing these great pictures!

Has anybody been to the Ca’ Pesaro in Venice? A great Museum for Oriental Art. (Oriental is a little bit misleading in this case) They have an excellent collection of Japanese arms and armour, some Chinese pieces of art and a few Indonesian Weapons.

A virtual visit is possible, page is in Italian, but as it is a lovely language, one should not worry about it.

Thanks BI for sharing these beautiful pictures with us. Thank you especially for photographing the bowcase, a piece of Islamic warriors equipment that is often overlooked.

Have you got any more photos of that bizzare helmet, the one that is a cross between a shishak and kulah khud? I don't think I have ever seen anything like that before. You wouldn't happen to know if it was made that way, or is it a kulah khud that has been "Ottomanified"?
