The two gold crossbows addorsed against a red shield indicate that the patron of this lamp held the office of 'bunduqdar' (Keeper of the Bow). The inscription states that the lamp was ordered for the mausoleum of 'his excellency the bowkeeper of `Ala al-Din,' thus identifying him with Aydakin ibn `Abd-Allah, who died in Cairo in 1285. Aydakin, who held various offices under the Mamluks (after 1250), maintained the emblem and 'nisba' (form to express relationship with one's master) of his first appointment under the Ayyubid emir `Ala al-Din Aqsunqur until the end of his life.
