Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.Shield (Dhál) ca. 1875 Signed by Khooshal Dhunjee & Sons This shield is remarkably fine in quality, technique, and condition in comparison with other examples of Indian painted leather round shields in the Museum's collection (acc. nos. 36.25.586, .588, .593, and .608). It is also important for documentary purposes because the name and address of the shield painters are included on the reverse, placing this within the small group of Indian arms that can be connected with specific craftsmen or a place of production. On the bright red interior painted in gold letters it states: Khooshal Dhunjee & Sons / Painter and Shield makers / Dhalgarwada Street / City Ahmedabad / Bombay Presidency / India.This round convex leather shield is painted overall on the exterior with repeating floral patterns. In the center there is a stylized symmetrical leaf and blossom pattern painted in black on a red ground in a circular compartment surrounded by an off-white band painted with a similar pattern in blaMountain, of sphinx, c. 1850 - C. 1875 Plate of earthenware, decorated with the decor Montagne decor.

(34.3 cm). Date: 15th century.Ceremonial mandalas were used in later forms of Buddhism, including Esoteric Buddhism, which is noted for its complicated pantheon and rituals. Esoteric Buddhism, which developed in India between the fourth and eighth centuries, flourished in Tibet from the tenth century and was influential at the Chinese court after the fourteenth.This base, most likely produced for use in Tibet, once supported a three-dimensional mandala that probably comprised small sculptures, models of temples and stupas, or colored sands. The decoration combines lotus flowers (Buddhist symbols of purity) at the top with the Eight Buddhist Treasures at the sides. The traditional treasures--a conch, a lotus, a wheel, a parasol, an endless knot, a pair of fish, a banner, and a treasure vase--are here augmented with other auspicious motifs such as coral. Each treasure appears atop a lotus flower. MuseumTile. Majolica tile, painted in purple. In a circle an asymmetrical branch with rosette-shaped flowers and a chali flower.

Technological improvements to optical scientific instruments in the mid-nineteenth century spurred a veritable obsession across Europe with identifying and classifying the natural world. Amateur botanists were eager to collect and preserve floral specimens, which they intently researched and catalogued. In response to this broad appeal, French glassmakers made paperweights that portrayed the very botanical subjects that were so enthusiastically sought. Many weights represented specimens with horticultural correctness, but others were entirely fanciful creations. Paperweights like this example speak to the periodís fascination with taxonomic systems.From the late 1840s to early 1860s, French manufacturers of fine glass and crystalósuch as Baccarat (Alsace), Clichy (Paris), and Saint-Louis (Lorraine)ócatered to the vast public enthusiasm for beautiful yet functional desk accessories.
