Legal Guardian
A legal guardian is a person who has been appointed by a court or otherwise has the legal authority (and the corresponding duty) to make decisions relevant to the personal and property interests of another person who is deemed incompetent, called a ward. For example, a legal guardian might be granted the authority to make decisions regarding a ward’s housing or medical care or manage the ward’s finances. Guardianship is most appropriate when an alleged ward is functionally incapacitated, meaning they have a lagging skill critical to performing certain tasks, such as making important life decisions. Guardianship intends to serve as a safeguard to protect the ward. Anyone can petition for a guardianship hearing if they believe another individual cannot make rational decisions on their own behalf. In a guardianship hearing, a judge ultimately decides whether guardianship is appropriate and, if so, will appoint a guardian. Guardians are typically used in four situations: guardia ...

Naderi Throne
The Naderi Throne of Iran is a gemmed and enameled throne made during the Qajar era, now kept in the national treasury of the Central Bank of Iran.

Nader Shah's Sword
Nader Shah's Sword ( fa, شمشیر نادرشاه) refers to the sword carried by Iranian ruler Nader Shah (1736–1747). It is located in Tehran, Iran. Under later Iranian ruler Fath-Ali Shah Qajar (1797–1834), some fifty years or more later, it was inscribed and embellished. The scabbard of the sword is covered with diamonds. The modern historian Michael Axworthy notes that "Nader used the imagery of the sword to describe himself on a number of occasions". The sword is not visible in any of the portraits of Fath-Ali Shah. There is, however, a mural in the Marble Room of the Golestan Palace which shows Mohammad Shah Qajar, the successor to Fath-Ali Shah, wearing the sword while on horseback. The reverse side of the sword and scabbard shows a picture of the Shah on the hilt along with a few lines of verse, and the pictures of two of his sons.
