#swordtember day 10 Royal 👑 Sketch of “Short Sword (Yatagan) from the Court of Süleyman the Magnificent (reigned 1520–66)” from the MET archives Information on the sword: Exquisite workmanship and lavish use of precious materials distinguish this sword as a princely weapon and exemplifies the opulence and refinement of Ottoman luxury arts. Almost identical to a yatagan (now in the Topkapi Palace, Istanbul) made in 1526–27 by the court jeweler Ahmed Tekel, for the Ottoman sultan Süleyman the Magnificent (r. 1520–66), this sword was undoubtedly made in the same imperial workshop. The gold incrustation on the blade depicts a combat between a dragon and a phoenix against a background of foliate scrolls. These figures, like the gold-inlaid cloud bands and foliate scrolls on the ivory grips, are Chinese in inspiration, and were probably introduced into Ottoman art through contacts with Persia. This sword is one of the earliest known yatagans, distinctly Turkish weapons characterized by a double-curved blade and a hilt without a guard. Yatagans were commonplace in Turkey and the Balkans in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and served as sidearms for the elite troops known as janissaries.

I love spending time at the @metmuseum. I would often spend an entire day in it, just walking and allowing every object and artefact to wash into my consciousness and hopefully surface as something in my work in the future. An object that I was very drawn to are these social distancing signs that I regard of as a part of the ecology of the museum; an sign of the times. I took a photograph of it with my iPhone 11 and am planning to use it within a solo show that I’m working on with @rohprojects in Jakarta that will open in December this year. I have absolutely no idea how I’ll use it but I’m sure it’ll come to me (hopefully sometime soon). The show’s about many of the things that I often think about; collections of things, spaces of knowledge, communications and misunderstandings… stuff. Working a lot these days in preparation for a couple of solos that will open this year and the next. Looking forward to a month of walking in Seoul in September after a week of hustling during Frieze. Terribly jetlagged. It’s 7:06 am and I’ve been up all night, my mind spinning at both ends, thinking up new works. Sigh. #MetMuseum #MetMuseumNYC #ROHProjects #HemanChong #AvoidGathering #SocialDistancing #Covid19 #Pandemic2022 #Pandemic #SlowLiving (at ROH Projects) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxmepKv5Fp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
