circa 1930's, Udvada, Gujrat
An exceptional piece of devotional and decorative art, this rare mirror originates from Udvada, Gujarat—the spiritual heart of the Zoroastrian community. Dating to the 1930s, the mirror features silver and gold-backed etching, a technique prized for its luminous depth and reflective brilliance.
At its center is layered a lithograph of Ahura Mazda, the supreme deity in Zoroastrianism, symbolizing divine wisdom and light. The composition is enhanced by careful reframing in a gilded vintage wooden frame, further elevated by a mount of metallic patterned and embossed leather, accentuated with brass studs—adding richness and presence to the piece.
Steeped in cultural and spiritual resonance, this mirror is more than a decorative object; it embodies the devotional practices and aesthetic traditions of early 20th-century Parsi households. Today, it stands as a rare collectible, uniting sacred iconography with artisanal craftsmanship.
