Wooden Taj Mahal miniature
About the Item
The miniature is made of a wood similar to walnut, more likely an Asian rosewood. On the surface, it has floral motif decorations, believed to be made by inlay in a metal alloy. The tips of the construction are gilded.
Inside, it was equipped with lighting in recent times. Its original function was undoubtedly different: the miniature presumably contained rather an essence-burner, the scent of which could emerge through the structure's multiple small windows.
The recognizable subject is that of the Taj Mahal, India's famous mausoleum, built in 1632 by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Known for the beauty of its architecture, it has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1983 and has been included in the Seven Wonders of the Modern World since 2007.
Given its beautiful workmanship and rarity, the 'object may therefore be of particular interest to a collector of monument miniatures.
