Indian octagonal wooden jewelry box with a hand-painted lid featuring a Moghul/Persian miniature of a royal court, dating to the 20th century, in excellent condition and original, dimensions 25 x 17 x 10 cm.
Description from the seller
Augusteal octagonal jewelry box, finely decorated on the lid with a miniature painted entirely by hand in Moghul/Persian style.
The scene, rich in details and figures painted with an ultra-fine brush, depicts a royal court with a dignitary/ruler seated on a golden throne, surrounded by courtiers in traditional dress, guards, servants and horses. The central plaque is framed by decorative filigree with geometric bands.
Technique: The miniature is made of bone applied to the lid of a dark lacquered wooden core.
Condition: In overall good condition with a fascinating patina of time. There are slight imperfections and small wear along the lacquered frame of the lid, clearly shown in the images.
