EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Armlet (Bazuband) from the 19th century, created by an unknown artist. The armlet, a form of arm guard and armor, is a true masterpiece of decorative arts from Asia. Set against a striking black background, the close-up image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail. Crafted with utmost skill and precision, this piece features gold diamonds and seed pearls inset in the kundan technique. The use of polychrome enamel minakari adds vibrant colors that enhance its overall beauty. Originating from Rajasthan, India, this armlet reflects the rich cultural heritage of Hindoostan. The letterbox format captures the elongated shape of this remarkable artifact while emphasizing its elegance and craftsmanship. Its panoramic view transports us back to a time when such accessories were not only worn for protection but also as symbols of status and wealth. As we admire this stunning work of art at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, it reminds us of the artistic mastery prevalent during the 19th century. Despite being created by an unknown artist, their talent shines through in every aspect of this armlet. This photograph serves as a testament to our fascination with history and our appreciation for objects that have witnessed centuries gone by. It invites us to delve into ancient traditions and marvel at how art can transcend time itself.
