Interior in very good condition.; Containing fifty four objects covering the 17th through the 19th centuries and illustrating the princely arts of Mughal India, of the Deccani sultanates and of the Rajput kingdoms, as well as twenty jewels from Northern India, the Jean and Krishnâ Riboud donation represents an incredible endowment for the Guimet museum's Indian collections.
