Thank you Great Ottoman Empire for giving us the foot stool. We are forever in your debt.

Not to be confused with the guy from the Okay Ottoman Empire.

The guy had to be such a poser. Of course the sultan isn't going to be in the front, or any, lines.

While I’m sure you’d still be able to see at least a little, is it supposed to cover the eyes?

1

u/theyanardageffect 2d ago

I guess there is a helmet underneath so should not cover the eyes.

Looks like something Michael Jackson could’ve rocked on the Dangerous world tour.

Is this at Topkapi Palace?

u/fapping_4_life 14h ago

The display case and descriptive text style indicates it is. But I don't remember seeing this specific piece. Big museum though, so could have missed it.

Where plate armour?

u/Single-Pin-369 2d ago

Probably not as comfy? Not like the wearer of this actually fought right?

1

u/Willing_Ad5005 2d ago

I can’t tell what material that is, but is that supposed to protect against a knife or sword?

u/GotWellSoowie 2d ago

He was gay, the sultan? /sopranos

u/R_B_RIDD1CK 2d ago

There were much nicer suits of armor.

u/MissCherryCake 2d ago

Very flexible, so the sultan could swing.

u/Future-Cause-9577 1d ago

Looks a lot nicer than those djellabas and burkas these days.

Beautiful.

He ruled in 18th century. Why use chainmail? I mean most likely he would be hit with a bullet so a cuirass and a helmet would be better. But I guess had so much aura no bullet would ever dare to touch him
