Bhairavi Ragini
Polychrome pigments and gold on paper
India, 18th century
Height : 22 cm Width : 15 cm

The theme of this ragamala is that of a Shivaworshipper venerating the lingam, symbol of the personified Hindu god. Here, a young woman stands before a small shrine, holding an oil lamp towards the worshipped object. She is accompanied by three women in the background, who are playing music.

Raga were originally a complex medieval music system, intended to evoke a particular feeling in the listener. Their melodies refer to an emotion, a state of mind or a mood, and are sometimes associated with a season, or a specific time of day, thus creating a story.

Indian painters then transposed them into images combining painting, poetry and music, known as ragamala. Deeply rooted in the Indian world, ragamala were the subject of numerous variations by artists’ workshops from the 16th century onwards. These paintings, meant to be depictions of feelings, come in feminine (ragini) or masculine (raga) versions.

Upcoming sale, 22 February:
Important Safavid Qur’an
Ink, polychrome pigments and gold on paper, stamped and gilded leather
Western Iran, Shiraz, first half of the 16th century
34 x 22 x 6 cm
 
A magnificent 16th-century Safavid Qur’an, distinguished by its impressive size and exceptional craftsmanship. The manuscript opens with a stunning double-page frontispiece featuring illuminated polychrome medallions (shamsa) and inscriptions in elegant white thuluth script. This is followed by a richly adorned bifolio of Surah al-Fātiḥa, with golden cartouches set against a striking sky-blue background, surrounded by intricate mandorlas with delicate arabesque patterns. Throughout the Qur’an, each page is meticulously framed with gilded and polychrome borders. The text is arranged with seventeen lines per page, with the first, ninth, and seventeenth lines highlighted in bold thuluth script in vibrant gold or blue, while the remaining lines are written in refined black naskh script. Vertical cartouches, adorned with floral arabesques, and gilded rosettes serve as verse markers, enhancing the manuscript’s decorative appeal. An illuminated double-page spread marks the opening of Surah Maryam, with vivid colors and intricate geometric patterns. The final pages are equally adorned, featuring a prayer inscribed in white and gold thuluth against richly decorated backgrounds.

The binding, likely original and contemporary with the text, is crafted in red leather with stamped mandorlas, corner-pieces, and cartouches bearing oxidized silver and gold arabesque patterns. The flap includes a calligraphic cartouche with verse 79 from Surah al-Wāqi‘a: “None shall touch it except the purified.”

This Qur’an is a magnificent example of the luxurious manuscript production of the Safavid period. Its large format, the exceptional quality of the illumination on the opening and final prayer pages, and the consistent ornamentation of each page affirm the manuscript’s importance, likely commissioned by a high-ranking patron and demonstrating the virtuosity of Persian book artisans of the time.

Deccani bronze Parrot

Bronze or cast brass
India, Deccan, 17th century
Height 16, Width 23 cm

Provenance: Formerly in a French private collection acquired in the 1950’s or earlier

This finely executed sculpture of a parrot was probably once part of an oil lamp. It is finely
decorated with engraved feathers, and bears a suspension hook on its back. The hole on its
stomach served as an oil outlet. As for its base, it served as an oil cup cover, sitting right above
the wick. The wear and tear of the lamp shows that it has been in use for centuries.
The original collector, the former owner’s father, was a worker in the Halles market before it was
redone in the 1970’s, and was an avid collector of oceanic and exotic antiques. The piece was
probably varnished in Europe in the 19th century, as evidenced by the caramel patina,
reminiscent of European Renaissance bronze patinas.
