HANGING LAMP HOOK
Turkish, 15th century
Cast Iron, Height, 2 3/4 inches

HIS exceptional object, a vigorously styled S hook with terminations capped by snarling dragon heads is a powerful example of the genius of Turkish metal workers of the 15th century.

Based on the attention lavished on this humble component one can well imagine the beauty of the lamp which it once supported.
