The Tsars and the East

The Tsars and the East

Quick Overview

This exhibition catalog features 65 extraordinary objects from Iran and Turkey now housed in the Armory of the Moscow Kremlin - gifts to the Grand Dukes of Muscovy and the tsars of 15th- to 17th-century Russia to gain their political support. Several of these beautiful objects - swords, ceremonial maces, icons, and many fine accoutrements for the horse - have never been outside Russia, and the exhibition marks their only display in the United States. This book offers unique insight into the complex political and trade relations of Ivan the Terrible in the 16th century and the tsars Mikhail Fedorovich and Alexei Mikhailovich in the 17th with shahs Abbas and Safi in Iran and Suleyman the Magnificent and his descendants in Ottoman Turkey.
