When Gold
Blossoms: Indian Jewelry from the Susan L. Beningson Collection
When Gold
Blossoms: Indian Jewelry from the Susan L. Beningson Collection
celebrates the dazzling beauty and awe-inspiring technical craftsmanship
of Indian jewelry with more than 150 pieces spanning 2,000 years,
primarily from South India. The title alludes to the preference for gold
in South Indian jewelry—North Indian jewelry, on the other hand, is
known primarily for the use of precious and semiprecious stones—as well
as to the strong influence of nature on the designs, from ear studs in
the form of a lotus to armbands featuring petal-and-leaf weaving. When
Gold Blossoms includes spectacular rings, anklets, earrings, hair
pendants, jeweled crowns, ivory combs, and an elaborate swing and a gold
throne for a deity. Some of the pieces are worn in daily life, others
dedicated to deities in Hindu temples. Photographs from the 19th and
20th centuries will be displayed alongside the jewelry to provide a
fuller understanding of the ways in which jewelry is worn and used.
