EDITORS COMMENTS

Its vibrant green hue adds to its allure, making it a truly precious gem. What sets this emerald apart is the elegant Naskh script engraved on its obverse surface. These inscriptions are Shi'a invocations, reflecting the Islamic influence prevalent during the Mughal era in India. The emerald's side has been skillfully drilled for attachments, further enhancing its versatility as a jewel. Capturing both Asian and Indian aesthetics, this masterpiece exemplifies the rich heritage of Mughal craftsmanship. The calligraphy on the emerald demonstrates exceptional precision and attention to detail that was characteristic of this period.
