    Beautiful and Old large reversed glass -Of Emperor Riding-
    Art # 13 out of 1062 Republic Of China

    In 1414 a Chinese diplomat named Chen Cheng was ordered by Emperor Yongle to undertake a hazardous equestrian journey to the distant city of Herat. Located in today’s modern Afghanistan, Herat was then the capital of the Timurid empire. Chen Cheng’s mission was to deliver precious Chinese silks to Emperor Shahrukh. In exchange, the Chinese Long Rider was ordered to obtain a large herd of the valuable horses used by Shahrukh’s legendary mounted archers.

      Still a hazardous place to go today during the new Crusades.

      I always want this kind of things. BTW, it's an emperor of Qing dynasty.
