Abstract:
While studying the various antiques and collectibles, materials, shapes, and decorations in the Coptic Museum, I was struck by the presence of a large group of the Islamic heraldic emblems that adorn and decorate these antiques and Coptic artifacts, which calls into question the appearance of such heraldic emblems on these Coptic artifacts. These Islamic heraldic emblems are a fertile soil for study and research to answer many of the questions that revolve around the appearance of such the heraldic emblems on artifacts, which I will try my best to answer in the lines of this research paper. In this research, the researcher clarified the symbolism and its connotations and the Coptic artifacts on which heraldic emblems appeared, the most important of which were the heraldic emblems that were carried out on them, such as the heraldic emblem, the cup, which is the most famous and called the leg of the court, and the heraldic emblem is the ink for the person who writes the sultan's orders and displays to him the incoming mail from abroad, followed by the heraldic emblem of the sultan, the heraldic emblem of the polo, referring to the person holding the playing stick. Then the heraldic emblem of the eagle, the emblem of Salah al-Din and some Mamluks, signifying control and power, and finally the written heraldic emblem in which the names of kings and governors were recorded, along with propaganda phrases. In this research, I will try to enumerate the artifacts in the Coptic Museum in ancient Egypt, which date back to the Islamic period, especially the Mamluk period, and bear heraldic emblems and insignia.
