Indian

Courtly work, from Mughal miniature to temple carving

Courtly Indian work runs from Mughal miniature painting to temple carving, and the materials follow the courts: jade, brass, carved wood, and pigments ground for manuscript work.

What to look for

Pigment laid on paper rather than canvas, cast brass with wear at the touch points, and carving that follows a temple rather than a domestic form.
