The kundan setting used in the present lot, is the technique
most closely associated with the jewelled arts of the Mughal
Emperors. By using pure, soft, 24-carat gold (kundan),
the goldsmith can set gemstones directly into fragile
enamelled surfaces, or into engraved gem materials, such
as nephrite jade and rock crystal. The Jaisalmer stone used
to carve this tiger is also used in the hilts of daggers. See
for example, a Jaisalmer-hilted koftgari steel dagger, north
India, 17th and 19th century, which was sold at Bonhams
London, 19 April 2016, lot 182.

本例鑲嵌寶石所用之「昆丹」工藝，是一種印度獨有的金
匠工藝，曾大量用於莫臥兒王朝投資者的珠寶製作。極具
延展性的高質量24K金黃金，即「昆丹」，經過錘擊形成纖
薄的薄片，後被切割成條狀，再使用鐵筆將其壓入至預期
位置，在各種物料的表面上成為精緻的鑲座。由此，金匠
可以將寶石直接鑲嵌在易碎的琺瑯表面或軟玉、水晶等材
料中。用於製作老虎主體的賈沙梅爾石（Jaisalmer）也可
見於匕首手柄，如一例印度北部十七至十九世紀石雕手柄
鋼刀，售於倫敦邦瀚斯於2016年4月19日，拍品編號182。
