In the fourteenth century, at the peak of Mamluk glass production, large and impressive enamelled mosque lamps were commissioned by the sultans and their courts to adorn mosques, madrasas and other public buildings. This mosque lamp is reminiscent of its Mamluk forebearers, with its typical form and large thuluth inscription but was made in the early 20th century for the house of Boghos Nubar, chairman of the Armenian National Delegation and son of Egyptian Prime Minister Nubar Pasha.
