十八/十九世紀 痕都斯坦式碧玉雕菊花式蓋盒一對

The current boxes are carved similarly to Mughal-
style ‘chrysanthemum’ dishes with rows of fluted
petals radiating from the centre. Like the present
lot, these are typically very thinly worked, resulting in
the jade being semi-translucent. Compare a related
larger spinach-green jade circular box and cover,
