EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Tikka from the mid-19th century, created by the Indian School. Measuring 8.3 cm in size, this forehead ornament is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. Adorned with rectangular, oval, and pear-shaped table-cut diamonds, as well as table-cut emeralds, an emerald bead, pearls, and vibrant enamel on the reverse depicting a peacock, this piece exudes opulence. The intricate design features gold on a lac core that adds to its ornate beauty. Each element has been meticulously placed to create a harmonious composition that catches the eye and leaves one in awe of its splendor. The combination of precious stones such as diamonds and emeralds alongside delicate pearls creates an exquisite contrast that enhances the overall allure of this jewel. The use of reds, whites, greens, and blues in the enamel work adds depth and richness to every detail. This Tikka not only serves as an adornment but also represents cultural significance through its traditional headdress symbolism. It embodies elegance and grace while reflecting India's rich heritage. Photographed by Christie's Images and available for private collection viewing purposes only through Bridgeman Images; this image captures the essence of fine artistry preserved throughout history.
