A brass shield possibly from the armoury of Hyder Ali (d. 1782) South India, 18th Centuryof circular convex form with upturned rim and applied central ring, mounted with four bosses, engraved and decorated with a central rosette surrounded by concentric bands of geometric and vegetal motifs and an inscription in Kannada, the bosses with rosettes, four suspension loops to reverse. 31.9 cm. diam.Footnotes:Inscriptions: ಹೆ || ಕೂಡ್ಲಿಗಿಹಿ ||, Hai//KodligihiThe inscription on the present lot is in Kannada, in a style dating to the 18th/ 19th century, and bears a similarity to those found on arms and armour from the Mysore Palace armoury with the Sri Krishna, for Maharaja Krishna Raja Wadiyar III (1794-1868). Krishna Raja Wodeyar III was the twenty second Maharaja of Mysore who ruled for nearly seventy years and took inventory of the armoury, marking the pieces with serial numbers and labels. These were proceeded by his name, 'Sri Krishna'. An example of a dagger with the Sri Krishna is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Accession No. 2022.464a, b). The style of the inscription on our shield is very similar, and indicates that it was almost certainly part of the Mysore Palace armoury. The word Kodhligihi may derive from Kodli, meaning axe or hatchet, and could be the name given to the shield by the Maharaja. The 'hai' preceding this is found, often in Farsi, on other weapons associated with Hyder Ali in the Mysore Armoury. It has therefore been suggested that the inclusion of 'hai' on the present lot indicates that the shield was in the armoury of Hyder Ali, Tipu Sultan, and later Maharaja Krishna Raja Wodeyar III, who marked the piece with the inscription.Hyder Ali (c. 1720 – 7 December 1782) was a soldier who rose through the ranks of the Mysore army to the point where he was able to establish himself as de facto ruler by 1761, usurping the brothers Nanjaraj and Devraj in 1752. He fought against the British East India Company during the First and Second Anglo–Mysore Wars, and was the innovator of military use of the iron-cased Mysorean rockets. His eldest son and successor was the 'Tiger of Mysore', Tipu Sultan.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Höhe 33 cm, Der Text aus Photographisches Wochenblatt 1878, S. 128: "… hat ein speculativer Yankee ein Album construiert, das auch in Deutschland Eingang gefunden … aus einem eleganten Mahagonikasten, der in seiner horizontalen Querlinie von einem Bock gestützt wird, und sich mithin um seine horizontale Axe dreht. Die Bilder befinden sich, je vier Stück zusammen, unter Opticscheiben parallel zu der Vorder- und Hinterwand des Kastens, der ihrer zweiundfünfzig enthält. Bei jeder Drehung des Kastens rutschen die beiden oberen Bilder in Holzschienen hinunter, und bieten so dem Auge des Beschauers zwei neue Ansichten. Durch fortgesetztes Drehen werden dann successive alle 52 Bilder sichtbar; sie sind ferner nicht zu beschmutzen und können nicht ohne Wollen ihres Verfertigers in fremde Hände fallen, da der Kasten durch ein Schloß die Bilder vor derartigen Heimsuchungen schützt." Mit einigen Cartes de Visite gefüllt, eine "Optic"-Scheibe mit Sprung, sonst gut erhalten. Zur Geschichte der Portraitphotographie ein wichtiges Ausstellungsstück. Start Price: EUR 280 Zustand: (3/3)A. Foerste’s Patent Rotating Album, 1878 onwardsChangeable album for professional photographers, containing cartes de visite, one glass panel cracked, otherwise well-preserved, ht. 33 cm. – References: "Photographic Weekly", 1878, p. 128: "... a speculative Yankee has constructed an album that has also found its way into Germany... from an elegant mahogany box that is supported by a trestle in its horizontal cross line and thus rotates circa its horizontal axis. The pictures are located, four at a time, under glass panes parallel to the front and back wall of the box, which contains fifty-two of them. With each rotation of the box, the two upper pictures slide down on wood rails, thus offering the viewer two new views. By continuing to rotate, all 52 pictures become visible one after the other; they cannot be soiled and cannot fall into the wrong hands against the will of their maker, since the box has a lock to protect the pictures from such afflictions." – An interesting patent device in the history of photography.

The tabarzin, also known as the 'saddle axe', is a type of traditional axe associated with Persian, Indian and Central Asian cultures. Its name comes from the Persian word for axe, 'tabar', and it was historically used as both a weapon and a ceremonial object. Known for its distinctive design and craftsmanship, often featuring intricate decoration and metalwork, the tabarzin was commonly used in the Safavid and Qajar periods of Persia, as well as in parts of the Mughal Empire in India.

According to the Book of Documents (尚書), the legendary ancient Emperor Shun referred twelve symbols as ancient in his time and wished for them to be used on sacrificial robes. In the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the system of clothing and adornment was established. From that point on, and lasting through the Ming and Qing dynasties, the twelve-symbol pattern was used as the decorative design for the attire of emperors and officials for nearly two thousand years. Only slight changes in the positioning and colours of the twelve symbols developed over time. In the Huanchao liqi lushi (皇朝禮器圖式) compiled in 1759 during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the Twelve Symbols were only mentioned in regulations regarding to the Emperor's chaofu and longpao, which leads to the assumption that their use was reserved for the emperor during the Qing dynasty. However, some scholars have observed instances where the right to use the Twelve Symbols was conferred as a mark of Imperial favour, and there are several examples of women's robes featuring the symbols. See G.Dickinson ＆ L.Wrigglesworth, Imperial Wardrobe, London, 1990, p.93. The absence of the two vents at the front and back, along with the design of the sleeve sections indicate that the present lot is a woman's robe. The use of this prestigious yellow colour, particularly in a robe adorned with the Twelve Symbols of Imperial Authority, would have been reserved for a high-ranking woman in the Qing court.See a related yellow-ground embroidered gauze Twelve-Symbol woman's dragon robe, Guangxu, in the Qing Court Collection, in the Palace Museum, Beijing (acc. no. 故00044110).
