‘A fine globe dated 1274-5[ce] and made by an astronomer of Mosul in Iraq, reached the British Museum in London in 1871. On it the lion’s head is still recognizably of the same form as on the coronation robe.** This is also adorned with a series of small square enamelled gold plaques placed along the straight edges and with two much larger enamelled clasps believed to be contemporary work and also made by Muslim craftsmen in Palermo when the city was full of Arabs, especially around the Court.
