Product Description
An extremely rare Thewa Pratapgarh brooch crafted in 22ct gold. Each piece worked with intricately designed and incised gold sheets depicting hunting scenes fused on green coloured glass.
Pratapgarh was a small Rajputana principality established by Raja Pratab Bhadur Singh in the seventeenth century. It is in this kingdom, which passed under British control in 1818, that the thewa technique developed in the second half of the eighteenth century. It remains the main distinctive feature of its jewellery production until today. The green glass surface of thewa pieces are decorated with gold tracery sheets representing usually mythical, religious or secular hunting scenes. The production of Pratapgarh jewellery flourished particularly in Victorian times, when they were exported to Europe as souvenirs, notably Britain.
Dates around 1880.
This piece is in excellent condition with all parts of the design intact.
Measures 49mm x 40mm.
19.10g
Can be worn as a brooch or pendant.
