See Larger Pictures Below. For Rooms. The 1869 fine art masterpiece "Pelt Merchant of Cairo" by Jean-Leon Gerome, in a black-brown museum-type frame, beautifully displays a merchant marketing a tiger pelt in the bazaar streets of the famous Egyptian city (mostly known for pyramids and the sphinx). In one hand he holds the metal helmet of a warrior. Are the helmet and the hide related in some way? Did the helmet's owner and the tiger both die in a brilliant fight to the death? Or are there another stories behind the two objects? You decide the tale to spin for your guests as they admire the great works of art in your room!
