Description: A 19th-century Mughal white pale celadon jade pen holder, or qalam-dan, is a fascinating and elegant artifact. The qalam-dan was traditionally used to hold and protect writing implements like pens and brushes, reflecting the Mughal Empire’s rich tradition of art and calligraphy. The Mughal Empire, which ruled parts of South Asia from the early 16th to the mid-19th century, is renowned for its contributions to art, including exquisite craftsmanship in jade and other materials. Celadon jade is prized for its delicate, pale greenish-white color and smooth texture. It’s often associated with high-quality craftsmanship and luxury. In the context of the Mughal period, celadon jade objects were often meticulously carved with intricate designs, showcasing the skill of the artisans of that time. Such a pen holder would likely feature detailed carvings or patterns, possibly incorporating motifs like floral designs or geometric patterns that were popular during the Mughal era. The craftsmanship would reflect both the aesthetic values and technical skills of the period. ( Size : 32 Cm )
