The delicate carved panels incorporated into this screen are typical of work known as pinjra or 'bird-cage work'. The geometric tracery and pierced carving was commonly incorporated into architecture of the northern Punjab. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was found most successfully on screens such as this and also on octagonal tables.A related example is illustrated in A. Jaffer, Furniture from British India and Ceylon, London, 2001, no. 126.
