拍品专文

By the eighteenth century the iris had permeated much of Indian Art. Silver bottles using this flowerhead as the body are atributed to various parts of India at this period (Christiane Terlinden: Mughal Silver Magnificence, exhibition catalogue, Brussels, 1987, nos.93, 95 and 160, pp.85, 86 and 118).
