Brazier of Sultan al-Malik al-Muzaffar Shams al-Din Yusuf ibn 'Umar

Brazier of Sultan al-Malik al-Muzaffar Shams al-Din Yusuf ibn 'Umar. Dimensions: H. 13 7/8 in. (35.2 cm)
W. 15 1/2 in. (39.4 cm)
Max Depth. 16 3/8 in. (41.6 cm). Date: second half 13th century.
Braziers served as portable grills and heaters. The lionheaded knobs with rings provided receptacles for handles to transport the heated unit, while the confronted dragon heads on each side functioned as spit brackets. The names and honorifics mentioned in the monumental inscription identify the patron, the second ruler of the Rasulid dynasty (r. 1250-95). His dynastic emblem, a five-petalled rosette upon a circular shield, features prominently on both sides of each corner bracket.
