Antique 17th century India Islamic Indian Mughal Carved Panel

This is an antique carved bone panel from late 17th century North India during the Islamic Mughal dynasty. The panel, which has a rectangular shape, comes from the side of a box and features intricate carvings. It displays a series of four cusped quatrefoil cartouches, each depicting an allegorical hunting scene known as "shikargarh." This scene illustrates a Mughal nobleman equipped with a quiver full of arrows on his back, hunting tigers and antelopes with a bow.
He is dressed in 17th-century Mughal clothing, featuring a flowing muslin gown called a "jama" over "paijama" trousers. A sash is tied around his waist, and he wears a turban in the characteristic style of the 17th century. The decorative cartouches are flanked by intricately carved floral motifs, all set within a border of small circles repeated between plain stripes.

A similar panel, also carved with four cusped quatrefoil cartouches, is featured in the Christie's London catalog for Islamic Art and Manuscripts dated 16 October 2001. This was lot 275, with an estimated price range of GBP 3,000 to GBP 5,000 (approximately US$4,342 to US$7,237) based on an exchange rate of 1.4474 US dollars on that date.
It's worth noting that 20 years ago, the prices for Islamic art were significantly lower than today's.

CONDITION: The item shows signs of age and usage, with an exceptional patina. The bone pegs and two wooden dovetail joints on both sides of the panel, which secured the bone panels to the wooden interior of the casket, are still intact. The right upper corner is chipped, which is consistent with its being over 300 years old.
The panel is housed in a custom-made old beveled wooden frame, from which it can freely slip in and out.
The plaque is remarkable for the quality of its carving. During the 17th -18th century, there was a great demand for luxury goods among the significantly wealthy Indian Mughal elite, and exquisitely carved boxes by the court artists were created to meet this demand.
PROVENANCE: Acquired from an old Canadian Collection of Islamic Art, including Muslim arms and armor.
