An Indo-Portoguese mother-of-pearl round box and cover
North-Western India, Gujarat, 17th-18th century
in the rare form of a cylindrical case with a domed lid, similar to a pyxis, covered with nailed mother-of-pearl tiles. The top decorated with tiles in a floral arrangement. Mother-of-pearl objects created in the Gujarat region were imported to Europe via the routes of Portuguese merchants as early as the first half of the 16th century and made their way into princely wunderkammer collections. The first documented example was preserved in the Green Vaults in Dresden and first recorded in an inventory of 1586 (Seipel 2000, cat. no. 67 p.160-61).
H. 16 X D. 11.5 cm
