in various Hungarian Museums. The Hungarian National Museum, the Museum of Applied Arts and the Hungarian War History Museum have the biggest collections. The only private collection that has survived (though with significant damage in the war), the almost three hundred objects of the Fraknó treasury of the Duke Esterházy family is now in the Budapest Museum of Applied Arts. Saddles, saddle covers and caparisons create a significatn part of the collection; together with some other covers from the same period though not acquired from the Esterházy treasury, arc in the Museum's textile collection. 4. Saddle cover: an ornamental cover decorating the back and bottom of the horse, generally place under or over the saddle; it cannot reach the stirrups on the two sides. Caparison: a cover hiding the whole body (including the chest) of the horse; originally it was to protect the animal against bad weather but it was also used as a decoration. 5 See Kakuk, Susana: Recherches sur l'histoire de la langue osmanlie des XVIe et XVIIc siècles.
