 About
at American Federation of Arts
This exhibition, organized by American Federation of the Arts, showcases the stunning beauty and intricate technical craftsmanship of Indian jewelry from the 17th to the 19th centuries. Primarily from south India, the works include rings, anklets, pendants for the hair, jeweled crowns, ivory combs and a gold throne for a deity.
The works are predominately solid gold and often encrusted with rubies and other stones in geometric forms that exemplify the south Indian style. A small group of ancient artifacts also are included: sandstone seals and gold adornments dating back to the 2nd century BC. A catalog published by Asia Society, New York, accompanies the exhibition.
At present the exhibition is on view at Figge Art Museum in Davenport Iowa, until August 24. After which it will be exhibited in other museums in the USA until December 31st 2008. We will update this page regularly.
