Description
MUGHAL jades, apart from contemporary architectural embellishment, were the primary form of sculptural expression in northern India during the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries. Surviving in greater numbers than any other type of decorative art object from the Mughal period, 1 exquisite drinking and dining vessels, weapon hilts, and various other luxury items were carved, or more accurately, laboriously abraded and polished, from blocks of nephrite jade imported from Central Asia.
