One of the most striking objects on display in the Royal Academy of
Arts's exhibition Turks - which opens to the public today - is also one
of the tiniest. Less than two inches high, the ebony and ivory box has
intricate gold filigree and turquoise sides set with rubies, secured
with a miniature gold chain and hinge. Made in the middle of the 16th
century in Istanbul, it was designed as a reliquary to hold sakal-i
merif - a hair from the beard of the prophet Muhammad. From a single
hair one can draw the thread of history that stretches along the Silk
Road from Asia's steppes, from Samarkand to Mauritania, ending in
Istanbul.
