Reseña del libro "Adornment and Splendour: Jewels of the Indian Courts (en Inglés)"

This is the definitive catalog of an unparalleled collection of Indian jewelry and jeweled luxury objects made at the height of the Mughal empire andDeccan sultanates in the 16th and 17th centuries. The collection, widely regarded as one of the finest in the world, was assembled by Sheikh Nasser and Sheikha Hussa al-Sabah for The al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait, and reveals the beauty, sophistication, and diversity of Indian jeweled arts.The Indian subcontinent is naturally rich in gems. From ancient times master jewelers developed a wide array of unique techniques and made it home to the most sophisticated jewels on earth. Exotic birds and animals, flowers, trees, and mythological scenes rendered in precious gemstones, gold, and enamel demonstrate these artists' prodigious imagination and skill. They produced not only an unmatched range of jewelry to adorn the body but also ritual and household items of astonishing refinement and luxury, as well as extravagantly large engraved gemstones to serve as symbols of their princely patrons' royal power--including a spinel of nearly 250 carats believed to be the legendary Timur Ruby.This volume includes not only the finest and most valuable pieces in the collection--some familiar to connoisseurs, others published here for the first time--but also many previously unknown types that extend our understanding of artistic output in the region. With specially commissioned photography giving unprecedented new views of more than three hundred jeweled objects, this is a publication of historic importance and beauty, for all lovers of jewelry, the arts of India, and of the Islamic world.
