This print showcases a Bell-Shaped Huqqa Base with Floral Design, dating back to the 18th or 19th century. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. The base is crafted from a unique alloy, zinc alloy inlaid with copper and silver bidriware, demonstrating exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Its bell shape adds elegance and sophistication to the overall design. The floral pattern adorning the surface of the base is truly mesmerizing. Delicate flowers bloom across its entirety, creating a harmonious blend of colors that captivate the viewer's eye. Each petal seems meticulously placed, showcasing the skillful artistry involved in its creation. Originating from Hyderabad in India during the Mughal Empire era, this huqqa base represents a rich cultural heritage deeply rooted in Asian traditions. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess prevalent during that time period. Displayed within an art gallery at The Art Institute of Chicago, this remarkable object invites viewers into a world where beauty meets functionality. While it was originally intended for smoking purposes as part of hindoostan culture, today it stands as an emblematic symbol of historical significance and artistic excellence. As we gaze upon this close-up shot capturing every intricate detail, we are transported back in time - appreciating not only its aesthetic appeal but also acknowledging its importance as an artifact representing centuries-old craftsmanship and creativity by unknown hands.
