Like a garden frozen in stone, this marble tray brings Mughal elegance to life through the delicate art of pietra dura or parchin kari. It features a mesmerizing central floral motif, its petals unfurling in perfect symmetry. Encircling this bloom, delicate vines and tendrils weave toward a border of alternating oval and circular inlays—likely carnelian and turquoise— creating a rhythm of color and form. Rooted in the 17th-century artistry of Agra, this piece celebrates the Mughal eye for harmony, detail, and decorative grandeur.
