インドの地図がシルバーで彫刻され、海は鏡で表現されているコンパクト。栄華を極めた首都デリーや主要な港町のカラチ、ボンベイ、アドラス、カルカッタにルビーが施され、当時の街のように美しく輝いています。これを手にした女性は、遠いインドへの旅と、新天地への希望に夢を膨らませたことでしょう。

A map of India carved out of silver, with the ocean expressed by the compact's mirror. Delhi, the capital of India at the height of its prosperity, and the main port towns of Karachi, Bombay, Madras, and Kolkata are represented with rubies, shining brightly as they did in their heyday. Women who got their hands on this must have been filled with dreams of a journey to faraway India and hopes of what the new land could bring.
