EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Mughal Emerald" a remarkable piece of art from the 17th century. The emerald, measuring 5.2x4x1.2 cm, is rectangular-cut and intricately carved with exquisite precision. Its vibrant green hue exudes an aura of opulence and allure. What makes this emerald truly exceptional is its obverse, which features elegant Naskh script engravings of Shi'a invocations. These intricate inscriptions add a touch of spirituality to the already mesmerizing jewel. The side drilling on the emerald suggests that it was intended for attachments, perhaps as part of a larger jewelry ensemble or ornamentation. This further enhances its significance as not just a standalone gem but also as an integral component in creating breathtaking adornments. With its origins rooted in Indian culture, this precious stone reflects the rich heritage and craftsmanship prevalent during the Mughal era. It embodies both Islamic influences and traditional Indian aesthetics seamlessly blended together. Now housed in a private collection, this photograph allows us to appreciate every minute detail of this extraordinary masterpiece without any commercial connotations attached to it. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and splendor that once adorned royalty and nobility alike. A true testament to human creativity and ingenuity, "The Mughal Emerald" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and elegance.
