They are not solid gold but hollow and filled with lac, a natural resin. The enamelling would be completed before the lac was added, and the stones would then be set into the piece using kundan – highly refined gold that can be pressed into place by the jeweller’s tools without using heat. \r\n\r\nThis piece was one of a small group bought by the V&A in 1922 and 1923 from a Mr Talyarkhan, who said he had purchased them from the Maharaja of Jaipur in Rajasthan, north-west India. Mr Talyarkhan noted that the piece had been made in Jaipur, a renowned centre of enamelling, but this cannot be verified.","physicalDescription":"Half section (back) of a turban aigrette.
