EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Indian silver and inset jade sweetmeat dish from the early 19th century. The intricate design depicts a mesmerizing scene of lions and elephants amidst lush foliage, creating a vibrant and dynamic composition. Crafted by the skilled hands of the Indian School in the 19th century, this masterpiece measures 34.7 centimeters in diameter. The dish is adorned with precious materials such as gold, rubies, diamonds, and semi-precious stones, adding a touch of opulence to its already ornate appearance. Its black background serves as a striking contrast that accentuates every intricate detail. With its animal themes and Asian influences, this piece represents both the rich cultural heritage of India and the mastery of Islamic artistry prevalent during that era. The depiction of majestic lions alongside gentle elephants evokes a sense of power balanced with grace. This close-up view allows us to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating this remarkable work of art.
