This pretty sterling silver bracelet from India's Jain minority has a clever three-tiered link system with mesh-like flexibility and just the right amount of weight, making this an exceptionally comfortable piece of jewelry. It is designed around 20 slightly serpentine-shaped crests, each topped with a raised, elongated "S" shape. These small crests are divided into sets of four and separated by four larger polished crests in the shape of a four-leaf-clover, creating a nice interplay of shine an... Click for details

A FINE SILVER EWER, INDIA OR INDO PERSIAN, 19TH CENTURY

This superbly crafted silver jug was possibly used for serving tea or coffee. It seems to be similar to the work produced in northern India.

Nice Indus Valley Bowl from the Nal Culture

Archives: Regional Art: Asian: Indian Subcontinent: India Pre AD 1000: item #410308

While increasingly more and more people have heard of the Indus Valley and its ancient civilization, very few have heard of the smaller towns and villages to the northwest that predated the urban Indus civilization that was centered in Harappa and Mohenjodaro. The "Nal culture" seems to have been a critical final stepping stone before these late Bronze Age cities developed. Centered in Baluchistan, a province of modern Pakistan, the Nal sites comprise a number of towns and villages, including So... Click for details

Gandharan refers to an artistic style that developed in what is now northwestern Pakistan and eastern Afghanistan between the 1st century BC and the 7th century AD. Its roots lie in the Greco-Roman influence first introduced into the region by Alexander the Great, and subsequently by the trade of the Roman and Byzantine empires. Therefore, it presents an interesting fusion of traditionally Indian iconography and Roman motifs like vines, cherubs, tritons & centaurs. ... Click for details

Life in the 18th century palace of the Maharajah and Maharani of Delhi is depicted in this miniature that shows a strong Mughal influence blended with other Indian schools, primarily Rajput. The mixture of the Mughal style with various schools of painting that evolved regionally has produced some of the most compelling Indian miniatures. This early 19th century work is headed with portraits of the royal couple and Urdu calligraphy. Liberal touches of gold, a legacy from Persia, add richness to t... Click for details
