Casco turbante

late 15th–16th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 379
Um dos capacetes mais exculsivos do mundo islâmico é chamado de casco turbante, uma peça de armadura de grande impacto visual cujo nome é derivado de sua forma bulbosa com volutas evocando o aspecto e envoltura de um turbante. Embora, aparentemente, este tipo de casco tenha se originado do século XIV, a maioria dos exemplares existentes, como este, data do final do século XV ou início do XVI. Os cascos turbantes foram usados pelas dinastias Aq Quyunlu (os turcomanos das ovelhas brancas) e Shirvan no Azerbaijão e Irã e também pelos otomanos. A superfície do casco está completamente coberta com decoração gravada e damasquinada em prata, em que predominam as inscrições em árabe.
