摘要

The Victoria and Albert Museum's Autumn India Festival includes a scintillating exhibition of jewellery and jewelled objects. Bejewelled Treasures: The Al Thani Collection presents a selection of more than 100 objects from the collection formed by His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Abdullah Al-Thani of Qatar, with three important additional loans from the Royal Collection Trust. These spectacular pieces, made in India or inspired by India's sophisticated jewellery traditions, range in date from the early seventeenth century to the present day.
