This print showcases a stunning Knife Hilt with Horse-Head Pommel, dating back to the 18th century. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its allure. The knife hilt is a true masterpiece, intricately carved with remarkable detail and precision. Its black background enhances the vibrant colors that adorn it, making every element stand out in vivid splendor. The horse-head pommel serves as the focal point, capturing the strength and grace of these majestic creatures. Originating from Hindoostan (India), this artifact represents the rich artistic heritage of Asia. Crafted using jade gold and rubies inset in the kundan technique, it exemplifies the mastery of decorative arts during this period.

It reminds us of our connection to different continents and countries throughout history. This print allows us to appreciate both the beauty and historical significance behind this extraordinary object. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with humanity's desire for self-expression and preservation of heritage.
