EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning shield from the 19th century, crafted by the Punjabi School. The shield is a masterpiece of artistry and craftsmanship, made with blued steel overlaid with gold, velvet, and quilted cotton. Its intricate design features an array of majestic animals such as horses, dogs, leopards, dragons, lions, deer, tigers, hares - all beautifully depicted in ornate detail. The shield's ornamental decoration transports us to a world where horsemen gallantly ride into battle adorned with this exquisite armor. It reflects the rich cultural heritage of Lahore and its skilled artisans who created such masterpieces. Every element on this shield tells a story - the strength and power symbolized by horses and riders charging forward fearlessly; the gracefulness of leopards prowling amidst lush foliage; the mythical presence of dragons breathing fire; and the regal aura exuded by lions guarding their territory. Even smaller creatures like hares add charm to this opulent piece. Displayed at Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery for all to admire, this photograph captures every minute detail that makes this shield truly exceptional. Its beauty transcends time as it continues to inspire awe even today.
