Huqqa Base with Wheel-Cut Decoration
Not on view
The materials, style and shape of this huqqa base bridge two important parts of our collection: Indian decorative arts and objects evidencing cultural exchange with Europe in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The decorative floral forms are known in metal bidri huqqa bases from the seventeenth century, while the object itself may have been produced using European glass in the nineteenth century.
