EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of art from the 19th century - a Globular Huqqa Base with Floral Design. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite huqqa base is a testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of traditional Indian craft. The base is made of zinc alloy inlaid with gold and silver bidriware, giving it a striking black color that contrasts beautifully with the intricate floral pattern adorning its surface. The delicate flowers seem to come alive as they are meticulously crafted in gold and silver, adding an element of opulence to this decorative piece. Originating from Deccan region in India, this huqqa base reflects the rich cultural heritage of Hindoostan (India) during the 19th century. It was commonly used as part of a water pipe or hookah for smoking purposes. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of Asia gallery, this photograph captures every detail up close, allowing viewers to appreciate the fine artistry involved in creating such an extraordinary object. Its presence serves as a reminder not only of India's artistic legacy but also highlights the importance and beauty found within decorative arts across continents. As we admire this remarkable creation captured by an unknown photographer, we are reminded that true art transcends time and boundaries while leaving us captivated by its beauty and historical significance.
