EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Mirror Frame with Tree of Life Motif, dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Created by an unknown artist, this stunning piece features a tan jade frame adorned with intricate ruby, diamond, and emerald flower designs. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating this masterpiece. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, this mirror frame is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of India. The motifs on the frame depict a vibrant tree of life, symbolizing growth, renewal, and interconnectedness in Indian culture. Made from nephrite jade inset with gold rubies, emeralds, and diamonds using the kundan technique, it exemplifies the exquisite decorative arts prevalent during that era. The combination of precious stones set against the warm hues of red creates a visually striking contrast that adds depth and allure to this artwork. Its floral elements further enhance its beauty by incorporating nature-inspired designs into its overall composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable creation captured in time through photography by Heritage Images' lensman Unknown (not affiliated with any company), we are transported back centuries ago when skilled artisans poured their creativity into crafting objects like these mirror frames. This photograph serves as a reminder of our shared cultural history and appreciation for artistry across continents.
