About this piece
Camels in procession are a wedding motif — the caravan that carries the bride. The gold here is worked in relief, padded from beneath so the animals stand off the velvet, and the stones are set in the kundan manner with foil behind them to catch the light. The pearled corner rosettes are the workshop’s signature.
