Indian Mughal Style Hand Carved Jali Work Panel

Twin arched windows side by side, each with its own lace of lattice.

This Mughal style hand carved sandstone jali work panel is from Rajasthan, India, and dates to the 18th century. Rajasthan has long been a center of stone carving, and its sandstone, which cuts cleanly and weathers to a soft tone, was widely used for architectural detail. Wide panel split into two tall, pointed arches filled with fine, pierced lattice. Each has a small, carved floral panel beneath, and a patterned border runs around the whole piece. The tone is a sandy tan with darker reddish stains. It is 28 inches wide, 2.5 deep and 67 high.

Two windows, two floral skirts and one happy pair.
