1 in stock
This exquisite Mughal-era antique box exemplifies the refined elegance and masterful craftsmanship of imperial Indian decorative arts. Fashioned from pale green jade, the box is meticulously carved with intricate floral and foliate motifs, forming a continuous tapestry of Mughal design language. The lid and sides are further segmented into panels with fine gold inlay borders, enhancing the architectural balance and elevating the overall opulence of the piece.
The octagonal form reflects a traditional geometric preference in Mughal artistry, often associated with celestial symbolism and symmetry. The translucence and subtle luster of the jade, paired with the precision of the carving, attest to the object’s courtly origins—likely intended as a betel nut or jewelry box for nobility.
A rare collector’s piece, this box is not only a work of art but also a tangible link to the sophisticated material culture of Mughal India.
