Along with the more traditional jeweled sword and scabbard, this impressive gun served as a ceremonial object, held by one of Sultan Mahmud I’s attendants during state ceremonies. While the flamboyant decoration of the gun lent itself to public spectacle, the experience of extracting its treasures from the gun’s stock is a more personal act. This video reveals the various components of this ornate gun. View this gun in the exhibition, "Pearls on a String: Artists, Patrons, and Poets at the Great Islamic Courts" (on view at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco from Feb. 26 to May 8, 2016).
