Abstract
- A new book titled "Adornment and Splendour: Jewels of the Indian Courts" showcases over 300 precious objects from the 16th and 17th centuries, all made during the Mughal empire and Deccan sultanates. The collection, considered the most significant in the world, highlights the craftsmanship and techniques of Indian artists. The book features examples of gemstone carvings, enamelling, and inscriptions on jewels, as well as objects that have never been published before. The collection was brought together by Sheikh Nasser and Sheikha Hussa al-Sabah to demonstrate the artistic uses of jewels from India. [Extracted from the article]
