Howdah/Palanquin from the Junagadh Museum

Описание: In front of the Howdad (Ambali) seat, on either sides, are two lions with open mouth. The lion's front legs are seen resting on the mouth of the fish besides it. There are two dome shaped peaks in front of this Ambali, the larger one in the front and the smaller one in the back. There is a shelf at the front. Beneath it is a stick support with two silver foil designs. On the front is a round mirror in the shape of sunflower on both the sides. The upper part of this ambali, where the rounded corners fall, four corner spaces are filled with long brass rods. There are currently a total of seven golden gilt urns on these rods. There are six lion's paw-shaped legs for the howdah. Beneath which are two long horizontal wooden stands. This Ambali has six vertical pillars, marked with rope-like designs.
At the front of the seat are two peacocks and a flowerpot, placed opposite to each other. Gold embroidery work has been done on velvet on both the tops. New cushions have been installed in the front and back of the Ambali. Junagadh Museum, Junagadh.
