A Prince and his Pearls: Masculinity, Kingship, and Jewels in Royal India
Friday, May 17; 6:00 - 7:00 pm
ROM Admission is not included. RSVP Required.
Join Siddhartha V. Shah, Curator of Indian and South Asian Art at the Peabody Essex Museum and delve into the function of jewels in styling monarchical power in India. This fascinating lecture explores the role of jewellery in shaping a colonial fantasy of Indian men as inherently weak and spectacularly effeminate.
