内容简介

这是一个印度珠宝收藏的目录，这些珠宝和奢侈品是在莫卧儿帝国和德干苏丹国的鼎盛时期制作的。

这是16和17世纪莫卧儿帝国和德干苏丹国鼎盛时期制作的印度珠宝和珠宝奢侈品藏品的权威目录。该藏品被广泛认为是世界上好的藏品之一，是由谢赫·纳赛尔和谢哈·胡萨·萨巴赫为科威特的萨巴赫收藏而收集的，揭示了印度珠宝艺术的美丽、精致和多样性。

印度次大陆自然拥有丰富的宝石。自古以来，珠宝大师们开发了各种独特的技术，使其成为地球上复杂的珠宝的故乡。用珍贵的宝石、黄金和珐琅渲染的异国鸟兽、花草树木和神话场景，展示了这些艺术家惊人的想象力和技巧。他们不仅制作了一系列首饰来装饰身体，而且还制作了精致和奢华的仪式和家用物品，以及奢侈的大型雕刻宝石，作为其王子主顾的皇家权力的象征--包括一颗近250克拉的尖晶石，被证明是传奇的帖木儿红宝石。

本书不仅包括了收藏品中好和有价值的作品--有些是鉴赏家所熟悉的，有些则是一次在此出版，而且还包括了许多以前不为人知的类型，扩展了我们对该地区艺术作品的了解。特别委托的摄影作品为300多件珠宝物品提供了新视角，这是一本具有历史重要性和美感的出版物，适合所有珠宝、印度和伊斯兰世界艺术的爱好者。

The definitive catalog of an unparalleled collection of Indian jewelry and luxury objects made at the height of the Mughal empire and the Deccan sultanates.

This is the definitive catalog of an unparalleled collection of Indian jewelry and jeweled luxury objects made at the height of the Mughal empire and Deccan sultanates in the 16th and 17th centuries. The collection, widely regarded as one of the finest in the world, was assembled by Sheikh Nasser and Sheikha Hussa al-Sabah for The al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait, and reveals the beauty, sophistication and diversity of Indian jeweled arts.

The Indian subcontinent is naturally rich in gems. From ancient times master jewelers developed a wide array of unique techniques and made it home to the most sophisticated jewels on earth. Exotic birds and animals, flowers, trees, and mythological scenes rendered in precious gemstones, gold and enamel demonstrate these artists’ prodigious imagination and skill. They produced not only an unmatched range of jewelry to adorn the body but also ritual and household items of astonishing refinement and luxury, as well as extravagantly large engraved gemstones to serve as symbols of their princely patrons’ royal power―including a spinel of nearly 250 carats demonstrated to be the legendary Timur Ruby.

This volume includes not only the finest and most valuable pieces in the collection―some familiar to connoisseurs, others publishedhere for the first time―but also many previously unknown types that extend our understanding of artistic output in the region. With specially commissioned photography giving unprecedented new views of more than 300 jeweled objects, this is a publication of historic importance and beauty, for all lovers of jewelry, the arts of India.
