The central emerald has been subtly incised with a many-petaled lotus flower, a symbol of the sun, suggesting the radiance of the outsize gem. The enameling on the back depicts a peacock with a pair of peahens amid flowers. Peacocks signal the monsoon rains. The refined use of enamel indicates that this piece was assembled in the specialized workshops of Jaipur, but the size of the emerald suggests that it was made for imperial use.

Jewellery & the senses: smell is incredibly important for us, and so it comes as no surprise that it also forms part and parcel of jewellery! Jewellery and scent are closely connected: many jewellery pieces contain fragrance one way or another.⁠
⁠
But that aspect is often overlooked, simply because fragrance disappears after some time...so how are we to remember this beautiful capacity of jewellery?⁠
⁠
That is the topic of the next installation of my Jewellery & The Senses blog range! After Sight and Touch, this blog dives into the world of Smell!⁠

Two amber beads, found beneath the ziggurat of Assur (in current-day Iraq) and buried there around 3,500 years ago. The amber came from the Baltic region: trade networks reached far and wide.
On view in the spectacular Bronze Age exhibition in the National Museum of Antiquities, Leiden.

Silver anklet of Ethiopian Christian women. In the excellent exhibition 'Hew Locke: What have we here?' in @britishmuseum, where we also learn that this particular pair was looted on April 13, 1868, in Maqdala.

Unveiling a pendant #ClevelandMuseumofArt that emanates radiance and monsoon bliss. The lotus-incised emerald, enameling depicting monsoon peacocks and Jaipur finesse tell a story of imperial splendor. Wondering about its journey from South America?🤔
