Candelabra beaten from a single sheet of metal
Arranged chronologically, the art works are mainly ceramics, glass, metalwork and calligraphy on all kinds of surfaces. I love art that is basically a celebration of the word.
There is an impressive selection of mediaeval Persian carpets and the mosaic tiles are all fab.
Moghul jewelry and jewel-encrusted daggers could have found their way home in my pocket, along with the odd sanctuary lamp, rock crystal ewer and lustre-glazed bowl.
Worth the price of admission to the Museum alone. Try to pick a less crowded day - public holidays are probably not the best choice.
