Abstract (en)

Explores issues of cross-cultural communication involving Ottoman patronage of European artistic talent during the early part of the sultan's reign (1520-1566). Discusses a group of regalia, made in Venice for the sultan, focusing on a bejeweled golden helmet-crown, 1532. Argues that the purpose with these non-Islamic royal status symbols was to communicate Ottoman imperial claims to a European audience through Western discourse of power. They were publicized through prints and other popular media.
