Object of the Month

The sun god, Surya, is prominently shown at the centre of this elaborate brass thaal, seated cross-legged and riding a chariot drawn by a seven-headed horse. Twelve zodiac signs are represented in the ornamental niches in the inner circle while the outer rim of the dish depicts the 28 nakshatras or lunar mansions as per Indian astrology. Large-sized thaals were usually displayed as decorative objet d’art in formal settings or dining rooms in palaces or stately homes.
