of russet steel, formed in the European fashion with medial ridge, the main edges with riveted turns each with cusped inner edge, riveted side-plates, and pointed mount at each shoulder for shoulder-straps (missing, old pitting overall), 42.5 cm high

Another cuirass of this type, of crucible steel, from the Hyderabad Royal Armoury, is preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Acc. No. 29.158.165). Another, in the Nasser D. Khalili Collection, is illustrated David Alexander, The Arts of War: Arms and Armour of the 7th to 19th Centuries, London & Oxford 1992, p. 175, no. 108. Both examples have inscriptions recording them in the armoury of the fifth Nizam of Hyderabad (ruled 1762-1803) though their date of manufacture is almost certainly earlier.
