# Turban jewel

The incomplete nature of this turban ornament, which is missing the standard jewelled front, reveals the technique of manufacture of most of the enamelled and jewelled gold ornaments made under Mughal stylistic influence. They are not solid gold but hollow and filled with lac, a natural resin.

- **Kind:** artefact
- **Date:** 1745–1754 CE
