Lampe de mosquée du mausolée de l'émir Aydakin al-'Ala'i al-Bunduqdar

Égypte, probablement Le Caire

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 454

Les émirs mamelouks ont été nombreux à adopter des emblèmes inspirés de leur rôle cérémoniel à la cour, qui figuraient ensuite sur les objets et les édifices dont ils commandaient la confection ou la construction. L’emblème est ici composé de deux arbalètes sur un bouclier rouge, signe que le propriétaire de la lampe occupait le haut rang de bunduqdar (gardien de l’arc) à la cour. L’inscription précise que la lampe a été commandée pour le mausolée d’Aydakin al-‘Ala’i, mort au Caire en 1285.
