Helmet

Indian, Deccan, possibly Golconda

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 379

The helmet is decorated with Koranic inscriptions, including (Koran 61:13), "Help from Allah and a speedy victory." In the nineteenth century, it belonged to Albert Goupil, brother-in-law of the painter Jean-Leon Gérôme (1824–1904). It appears in Gérôme's 1869 painting Un Marchand d'armes au Caire.
