Indian Gold & Green Glass Patakbar Brooch

72D
Written by Olly Gerrish

I have had examples of this kind of work before, but this high carat gold brooch is an unusual shape and has good subject matter. It is composed of pieces of cut green glass which have been etched and gilded with people riding elephants and horses and peacocks. “The peacock calls out softly to its mate who waits… hesitating and uncertain Then, he, glancing up at the sky leaps from his stage? the earth unfolding his bejewelled ornamanted tail to awaken her desire, to allure and to entice her with it’s splendour. She succumbs and surrenders. And then, to the heart beat of the universe, he performs his exuberant dance celebrating oneness with her and the universe? Is this a gift of love?
