Can you point out what part of this extravagantly decorated saber and scabbard contains a hidden chamber? Swipe for a closer look! ⁣

The emerald near the top of the scabbard opens to reveal a secret compartment containing a gold coin marked with the name of Süleyman the Magnificent, the most powerful Ottoman ruler of the sixteenth century. The underside of the emerald is inscribed with the phrase "According to God's will." The saber itself is said to have been refitted in 1876 for the investiture of the Ottoman sultan Murad V. You can see it in its entirety in Gallery 379. #TheMet #MetArmsandArmor ⁣@metarmsandarmor
