Turkey (Ottoman Empire)
Ottoman Imperial Quiver and Bow Case Set with Deep-Relief Embossed Leather and Saz Floral Motifs
2681
Crafted during the early 17th century, specifically dated between circa 1600 and 1620 AD, corresponding to the classical post-Suleiman era of the Ottoman Empire under Sultans Ahmed I and Osman II.
While fully functional for mounted archery, state-level sets of this caliber were commissioned as elite military insignia, imperial hunting gear, and high-value diplomatic gifts exchanged with European courts (such as the Electors of Saxony) to project Ottoman martial supremacy and courtly luxury.
