EDITORS COMMENTS
This impressive shako, or military headpiece, is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of the 6th Bengal European Regiment during the mid-19th century. Dated to 1858, this officer's full dress headgear showcases intricate craftsmanship and exquisite detailing. The shako is made of felt and features a leather crown and peaks, adorned with gilt metal fittings. The metalwork includes intricate designs and embellishments, adding to the regal appearance of the piece. The date of 1858 is significant as it marks the year of the Indian Mutiny, also known as the Sepoy Mutiny, during which several British regiments in India, including the 6th Bengal European Regiment, saw intense action. The shako serves as a reminder of the military history and the rich cultural heritage of the British colonial era in India. The 6th Bengal European Regiment, also known as the European Regiment of Bengal Cavalry, was raised in 1824 and disbanded in 1861. This shako, with its ornate design and historical significance, is a valuable artifact that offers a glimpse into the past and the military traditions of the time.
