- Lot Description
Central Asia, India, Mughal Empire, ca. 17th to 18th century CE. A beautifully carved marble relief panel with a Hindi inscription. The panel is a long rectangular form with a gently rounded upper boundary; half of it is taken up by a rider on horseback. The rider hefts a long pole above his head. He is dressed in finery, with a turban and a long skirt that hangs over the sides of the handsome horse. Two lines of Hindi text are below this carving; below that, the stone is rough, was probably once inserted into a temple wall or otherwise integrated into architecture. The marble is warm and cream-colored, almost perfectly uniform without any banding. Size: 8.75" W x 17.25" H (22.2 cm x 43.8 cm); 18.15" H (46.1 cm) on included custom stand.
Marble artwork reached its peak in India during the Mughal period. Representations of nobles on horseback were particularly popular, represented in their unique Indo-Islamic style. The Mughal equestrian portrait fused Asian and European influences as well, creating a highly stylized form which is exemplified here in stone.
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA
