EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of a Deodar wood gate from 1842, created by the Afghan School in the 19th century. Currently housed at the National Army Museum in London, this artifact holds significant historical importance. During the first Afghan War (1838-1842), Ghazni was occupied and it was then that the gates of Mahmud of Ghazni's tomb were mistakenly identified as the Gates of Somnath, an ancient Hindu temple in India. These very gates had been plundered by Mahmud back in 1025. In a solemn gesture, Lord Ellenborough, the new Governor-General of India in 1842, returned these gates to various Princes and Chiefs including those from Sirhind, Rajwarra, Malwa, and GuzeratA. However, upon further examination later on, it was discovered that these gates were actually crafted within Ghazni itself. This revelation adds another layer to their historical significance and raises questions about their true origin. The intricate craftsmanship displayed on this Deodar wood gate fragment is truly remarkable. Its detailed carvings tell stories of a rich cultural heritage while also serving as a reminder of past conflicts and misunderstandings between different civilizations. Preserved through time and now immortalized through this print by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder catalogues; this piece offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon history's complexities while appreciating its artistic beauty.
