Lot Essay

A pair of bazubands of similar construction are in the Khalili Collection. In the catalogue, they are attributed to Hyderabad based on the colouring of the enamelled reverse (Pedro Moura Carvalho, Gems and Jewels of Mughal India, Oxford, 2010, p.186, no.97). Examples published by Oppi Untracht, however, with a plain reverse and long narrow units, are attriuted to Rajasthan (Oppi Untracht, Traditional Jewelry of India, London, 1997, p.251, no.563). A bazuband of very similar construction is in the al-Sabah collection (acc.no.LNS 11 J).
