介绍（中）	这件衬衫是现存最美丽的莫卧儿盔甲之一，也是最早的例子之一。装甲板上覆盖着双色黄金，一直刻到深色的铁上，优雅的书法和精致的树叶交织着古兰经铭文。其中一块板内刻有铭文，表明这件盔甲是莫卧儿王朝高级王子、莫卧儿皇帝沙贾汗（1624–58年在位）宫廷军事官员赛义夫·汗赠送的礼物。板内的其他铭文记录了沙贾汗统治后期对盔甲的估价，表明盔甲属于皇帝装饰的盘子装在一件结实的衬衫里，衬衫是早期的厚双铆接邮件，可能是15世纪的。每个戒指的一面都印着九十九个上帝的名字中的几个。盘子和邮件上的多次宗教祈祷使佩戴者蒙上了保护性祈祷的外衣。鱼形扣也被认为具有护身符的价值。
介绍（英）	This shirt ranks as one of the most beautiful surviving Mughal armors and is among the earliest dated examples. The armor plates are covered in two-color gold and incised through to the dark iron with Qur'anic inscriptions in elegant calligraphy entwined with delicate foliage. An engraved inscription inside one of the plates identifies this armor as a gift from Saif Khan, a high-ranking Mughal prince and military official at the court of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (reigned 1624–58). Additional inscriptions inside the plates record valuations assigned to the armor in the later years of Shah Jahan's rule, suggesting that the armor had belonged to the emperor. The decorated plates are fitted into a sturdy shirt of thick double-riveted mail of earlier date, possibly the fifteenth century. Each ring is stamped on one side with several of the ninety-nine names of God. The multiple religious invocations on the plates and mail cloaked the wearer in protective prayer. The fish-shaped buckles are also thought to have talismanic value.
