Copper wine bowl made at Lahore c.1610-20. It’s large! Probably holds a litre of wine. How was it used? Dip your cup in? Use a ladle? Stick in a curly straw? Does wine taste better after sitting in a copper vessel? So many questions #GreatMughals ⁦@V_and_A⁩

Shah Jahan’s wine cups, mid 17th C, sculpted from jade. Luxurious, ergonomic, I’d love to cradle one of these in my hands! Someone please make a replica from inferior materials. I’ll buy ten. See the originals for yourself @V_and_A #GreatMughals

@Alpanawrites @DAGworld Thank you!!

@jhowesuk @DAGworld Congratulations!

“There was a gold throne which I am sorry to say they are breaking to pieces…Lord Mornington has presented me with one of the jewelled tygers from the throne” - Lady Clive’s diary, May 1799. Here’s the very same object in Hew Locke’s “What have we here?” ⁦@britishmuseum⁩

@Alpanawrites @ManoharPub Yes, this is a huge relief to me. The book's pricing was making it prohibitive.

@jhowesuk @ManoharPub That's good! Many more people will be able to afford it.

What have we here? L: Benin bronze of a Portuguese man, portrait of Queen Victoria staring over his shoulder. R: British soldiers posing with bronzes looted from the King of Benin after the 1897 invasion. Hew Locke exhibition ⁦⁦@britishmuseum⁩ is a must-see!

@nejafeja @britishlibrary Yes I think the cataloguing fell between two stools!

@jhowesuk @britishlibrary Maybe it's the bug? they were hacked big time, didn't they
