拍品描述
A MUGHAL PINK SANDSTONE CHINI KANA PANEL WITH PEACOCKS
Expert’s note: This type of decoration was referred to as Chini Kana, a term meaning ‘China room’, and applied to wall niches in temples and other structures into which bottles, vases and various vessels were placed. Motifs such as this one may originally have had a connection with the ‘waters of fertility’ and hence with good fortune and abundance, but it seems likely that by the seventeenth century they were appreciated more for their elegance and sophisticated design. The present panel displays the Mughal fascination with naturalistic renditions of flora and fauna. Equally, the fluidity of the work demonstrates the strength of the Indian stone carving tradition.

North India, 17th-18th century. Depicting a pair of peacocks facing a vessel issuing floral sprays, carved in high relief within a rectangular reserve, to the right flanked by a smaller reserve with a meandering vine and a finely carved column decorated with a foliate design.

Provenance: From an English private collection, by repute purchased from Christie’s in London during the 1980s or 1990s.
Condition: Excellent condition, commensurate with age. Some wear, weathering and erosion, encrustations, minor losses. Few smaller cracks, nicks and surface scratches, remnants of ancient pigment and varnish.

Dimensions: Size 89.6 x 60.2 cm
