This work provides a view of the splendid decorative military arts of the Ottomans. The author describes in detail masterpieces from collections around the world, including the Topkapi Saray Museum in Istanbul, the National Museum in Cracow, the Freer Gallery in Washington and Vienna's Nationalbibliotek. Among the objects of art illustrated in the book are flags, tents, turbans, tughs, carpets, shields and a wide variety of ceremonial dress, which, taken together, indicate the level of sophistication in design and manufacture that the Ottomans were able to achieve. The point is made that the Ottomans made these articles and objects for the greater glorification of the state.
