Getting started with the collection:
King and Queen
anonymous, c. 1750 - c. 1800
Ivory figurines of kings from Sri Lanka and South India were crafted from the 16th century onwards as acts of reverence or as mementos of the monarch. These two later examples likely do not represent specific individuals but were created as diplomatic gifts or souvenirs for the European market.
