AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Traditional miniature painting (often painted on bone) with a detailed depiction of a hunting scene or a cavalcade on horseback.
Dimensions 41 x 12 cm. Painted on bone.
Classical Eastern riders in traditional dress, either hunting on horseback or posing in a hilly landscape with small wildlife. Characterized by fine brushwork and Qajar/Mughal aesthetics that evoke old manuscript illustrations.
Most miniatures on camel bone are much smaller (often around 10 to 20 cm) because this is easier to carve from a single piece of bone. A length of 41 cm makes it a true panoramic piece.
However, at the bottom of the panel by the black horse there is a black paint smear, and the smear runs through to the blue horse, probably created during transport.
Shipped by registered mail and well packed.
