This lady is just entering into the blossom of youth. This is well revealed by the incipient nature of her breasts. Yet to attain their full glory, these nourishing globes hold the potential of developing into veritable mounds, taking into consideration their growth at this stage of development. This important phase in her life is symbolized by the blooming buds in her left hand, the stalks of which are tenderly held by her delicate fingers. On the reverse palm of each hand can be seen auspicious symbols done in henna (mehndi).

Along the raised circumference of this marble saucer are embossed entwined, dense flowery motifs and creepers in 24 karat gold. These are reminiscent of the floral motifs appearing as incised painted patterns on the Tajmahal. Indeed it was during the reign of Shahjahan that Indian artists refined such depictions, transforming them into a hallmark of Mughal decorative style.

These unique artworks come along with a suitable gift box, and also a wooden stand - as shown in the accompanying image on the left.
