Description
South Asia, India, Mughal Empire, ca. 17th to 19th century CE. A beautiful sandstone relief panel, hand-carved with abstract scrolling, foliate motifs surrounded by a latticework border. Half of a lotus flower can be found on one side emitting several spiraling vines with lush, cusped foliage. The cusped palmette motif elegantly carved into this panel is typical of Mughal architectural ornamentation. This floral form can be found most noticeably as rows of finials adorning walls and monuments, for example see Mughal Emperor Akbar's tomb in Sikandra (Margaret Prosser Allen, Ornament in Indian Architecture, London, 1991, fig. 448). Remains of stucco cover the surface with some scattered traces of periwinkle-hued pigment. Size: 28.3" L x 4" W x 22.1" H (71.9 cm x 10.2 cm x 56.1 cm)
