Specialist note
Surviving carved gemstone figures such as Lot 289 and 290 are rare. These two examples display intricate carvings which are a testament to the refined lapidary skills of Indian jewelers during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Lot 290, a carved sapphire figure of a Hindu saint, formerly in the Rothschild Collection, is dated to the 18th century bears similarities to Lot 289, however, the Glenconner figurine has a flat back, indicating that it was at one time laid into a larger setting.
