Jade Terrapin from Allahabad : ウィキペディア英語版 | Jade Terrapin from Allahabad
The Jade Terrapin from Allahabad is a large sculpture of a terrapin carved from a single piece of jade. Dating from the early 17th Century when most of India was ruled by the Mughal dynasty, this luxurious and unique artefect was found in Allahabad in the early nineteenth century. It was among one of many artifacts taken from india when under British rule. 〔British Museum Highlights ()〕 ==Description== This massive object of precious stone was carved from one large piece of jade in the 17th century for the court of the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. The terrapin has been very realistically portrayed, so much so that scientists have proposed that it is modelled on a female of the Kachuga dhongoka species of turtle. Jahangir established a royal court at Allahabad between 1605-1627. The terrapin was probably made during this period as a decorative ornament for one of the landscaped pools in the palace gardens.
