Provenance: Lots 111 - 119 from a private collection.
Duke of Wellington Collection (1807-1884), The Wellington Gems exhibition, possibly no 247, S.J Phillips, London 1977. 'Sood' may not be the correct term for the head covering as it normally has a curved peak, however there is a distinct excess at the back of the cap.
