Minor observation, while visiting the Golești museum (Muzeul Golești) near Pitești, I noticed this decoration on a stove tile, which is very similar to Albu Golescu's tombstone (died 1574), posted earlier. I doubt that it is from the same period, but still interesting.

A few more photos from "Muzeul Naţional de Artă al României". Icons depicting saints with 18th century pallash types, with knuckle guards.
1 - St. Prokopios (18th century) from Bistrita monastery, Valcea county. Nice stitching detail on the scabbard. 2 - St. Michael from Partoş monastery, Banat region (1740). Former Austrian Empire, today Romania. 3 - St. Michael, (18th century), Banat region. Former Austrian Empire, today Romania. 4 - Unknown (St. George?). Probably Transylvanian. Nice longsword with type XV blade and rain-guard? |

A very poor-quality photo of Vasile Lupu's tomb shroud. Ruler of Moldova 1634-53.

I think it was based on one in the Topkapi Museum that had straight quillons, and another that had down curved ones. Mine is a simpler version. |

Here's something that bugs me...this horseman looks very similar to the "Eques Walachus" by Abraham de Bruyn 1576 (posted above). I'm really wondering how much de Bruyn's was actually inspired by this.
