專家說明


The design of this brooch is reminiscent of Art Deco jewellery, and it was likely made in a European workshop for an Indian client. Its design resembles an example published Oppi Untracht, Traditional Jewelry of India, London, 1997, no.838, p.387. Untracht illustrates that example with a painting of the young Maharaja Dulip Singh of Lahore wearing a similar jewel on his turban.
