EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of artistry from 17th century North India - a carved powder horn made of ivory with a brass stopper. Measuring at an impressive length of 26.7 cm, this exquisite artifact is now part of a private collection. The powder horn takes the form of an elegant bow shape and consists of two intricately carved pieces of ivory. The dense design features hunting animals, beautifully rendered with great attention to detail. At each tapering end, the artist skillfully shaped them into deer heads, complete with inlaid eyes that bring life to the artwork. Originally used for storing gunpowder, this ornate powder horn reflects the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship prevalent during the Mughal era in India. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess and creativity that flourished during this period. Through this photograph captured by eChristies Images and made available by Bridgeman Images, we are able to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind this extraordinary work of art. Its intricate carvings and symbolic representation make it an invaluable treasure that offers us glimpses into ancient Indian traditions related to hunting and shooting.
