Vintage Pair of Indian Mughal Hardwood Heads
This is a vintage pair of Indian hardwood heads in profile of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. The previous owner's family acquired them in India in the 1940s.
The carving of Shah Jahan is based on a well known miniature painting of the Emperor whereas we have not found the source portrait for the carving of Mumtaz.
These are too light for bookends so were made purely for display.
Dimensions: Height 18 cm x Width 12.5 cm x Depth 4.5 cm
The last photo shows them compared to a 500ml bottle.
Weight: Emperor 211 g & Wife 177 g
Condition: They are in very good vintage condition with a lovely patina.
Postage & packing: £6 within the UK. Please contact David for a postage quote if you would like these sent to an international destination.
