Its lid is capped with a round finial surrounded by long-necked birds and flying parrots. The gems are embedded within thin strips of pure gold, an indigenous Indian technique known as kundan. The art of jade carving was not practiced on the Indian subcontinent until the arrival of the Mughals whose ancestors, the Timurids, greatly valued the material, importing it from Central Asia at great expense. Jade carving flourished in the hands of Indian artisans. Mirror backs, bowls, drinking vessels, and writing boxes for imperial use were expertly carved by craftsmen."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Jade, gold, silver, gemstones"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"1"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Gold and Gem-Inset White Jade Lidded Bowl with Bird and Floral Motifs"},"classification":{"label":"Classifications","value":"Hardstones"},"primaryMedia":{"value":"http://collection.shangrilahawaii.org/internal/media/dispatcher/33035/full"},"depth":{"label":"Depth","value":["5.0800000000","5.0800000000","5.0800000000"]},"displayDate":{"label":"Date","value":"19th century"},"width":{"label":"Width","value":["8.8900000000","8.8900000000","8.8900000000"]},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"164553"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Overall: 2 x 3 1/2 x 2 in.
