{"product_id":"arms-armour-robert-elgood-9789383098774","title":"Arms \u0026 Armour: At the Jaipur Court, the Royal Collection","description":"The book has a selection of 186 of the most interesting arms in the Jaipur royal palace and discusses them as weapons in their social and historical context. The book breaks new ground in Indian arms scholarship and is also a very readable account that takes in Rajput, Mughal and British Indian history, anthropology and art history. The objects are stunning: swords belonging to the Mughal Emperors Jahangir, Shah Jahan and Aurangzeb; wonderful court daggers with hilts of carved rock crystal, jade, ivory and gilt steel; ferocious tribal arms; some remarkable historic firearms and beautiful painted shields, some of which were decorated in Japan for the Mughal court. There is even a device for extracting arrows from wounds with toe-curling ancient medical remedies. Most of these arms are from the reserve collections and published for the first time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContents: Foreword by Princess Diya Kumari of Jaipur; Acknowledgements; Cataloguing terms; Introduction; Daggers; Katars; Swords; Children's Arms; Lances, Spears and Shields; Armour; Axes, Ankus, Chhadi and Maces; Bows and Arrows; Accoutrements; Guns and Pistols; Map; The Rulers of Amber - Jaipur; Endnotes; Glossary; Bibliography; Index.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Elgood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9383098775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789383098774\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Niyogi Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.30h x 10.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Robert Elgood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44059002536191,"sku":"9789383098774","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0e934573-64d0-4d08-801a-b634b5cb0372.jpg?v=1685055682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arms-armour-robert-elgood-9789383098774","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
