EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Hand Ornament (Hathphul) and Thumb Ring (Arsi) from the 19th century. Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite piece of art is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. The hand ornament and thumb ring are intricately designed with gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds, turquoise, and seed pearls inset using the kundan technique. The vibrant polychrome enamel minakari adds a touch of color to this magnificent creation. Originating from Rajasthan in India, this heritage art exemplifies the rich cultural traditions of Hindoostan. The craftsmanship displayed in every detail reflects the mastery of Indian jewelry-making techniques. The hand ornament delicately adorns fingers while connecting to a beautifully crafted thumb ring adorned with precious stones such as rubies. This combination creates an elegant and regal look that would have been worn by someone of high status during the 19th century. Through this photograph, we can appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also gain insight into historical fashion trends and traditional adornments prevalent in Asia during that time period. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Heritage Images, we are reminded of how art transcends time and connects us to our shared human history.
