Sepoys And Processional Chariot In Ivory. India Bengal Art. flag


Object description :

"Sepoys And Processional Chariot In Ivory. India Bengal Art."
Rare and beautiful object in finely carved and chiseled ivory representing a team escorted by five infantrymen armed with daggers. These armed infantrymen are sepoys identifiable by their long tunics which go down to the heels. They form the Indian armed corps employed by the East India Company which Dupleix had recourse to in the Franco-English Carnatic War. This beautiful and rare object testifies to the interference of Europeans in Indian affairs in the eighteenth century and to their political interference.
