Starting with the Mughal rulers of India (1526–1858) and continuing to the present day, this artistic practice is characterized by an abundance of costly materials such as gold, ivory, jade, and precious stones of astounding size and quality, which artists have used to create unique and valuable works.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTreasures from India presents 60 iconic works from the world-renowned Al-Thani collection, accompanied by a text that introduces readers to their significance within the history of Indian jeweled arts. Included are some of the earliest pieces created for the imperial Mughals in the 16th century, others made for Maharajahs of the 18th through 20th centuries, and later Indian-inspired works created by Cartier in the 20th century. These examples represent the range and scope of the finest expression of the jeweled arts in India, and stand among the highest expressions of Indian culture and artistry.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPublished by The Metropolitan Museum of Art\/Distributed by Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nExhibition Schedule:\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Metropolitan Museum of Art\u003cbr\u003e\n(10\/28\/14–01\/25\/15)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300208870\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.4 x 7.4 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metropolitan Museum of Art New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51144043561264,"sku":"VarietyBook_9780300208870","price":3375.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/61fO5OEtynL.jpg?v=1773511748","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/treasures-from-india-jewels-from-the-al-ttani-collection-metropolitan-museum-of-art-hardcover","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
