Rajasthani School, 19th century
A Rajput prince with a sword and dagger holding a lotus blossom
1890. Ink and gouache with gold heightening on fibrous brown laid paper with a Jaipur Court Fee tax stamp in purple ink on the recto 12 1/2 x 9 inches 318 x 230 mm. Toning handling creases and minor scattered surface soiling throughout. There are scattered coeval inscriptions in ink on the recto and verso. The first revenue stamps in India were issued in the mid-nineteenth century during the Raj and they are still being issued to this day. Apart from issues for the whole of India many princely states provinces and other states also had or still have their own revenue stamp issues. Before independence Indian revenue stamps were closely modeled on similar designs from Great Britain as is the case with this carriage motif stamp from Jaipur. <br /> <br /> The stamps were issued to denote various denominations including rupees and annas. An anna or Änna was a currency unit formerly used in British India equal to 1â„16 of a rupee. It was subdivided into four old Paisa or twelve pies thus there were 192 pies in a rupee. When the rupee was decimalized and subdivided into 100 new paise one anna was therefore equivalent to 6.25 paise. This particular stamp was used as evidence of court taxes remitted for property dealings. unknown

Rajasthani School, 19th century
A woman in jewels and a gossamer sari churns butter for ghee
1890. Ink and gouache with gold heightening on fibrous brown laid paper with a Jaipur Court Fee tax stamp in purple ink on the recto 13 1/4 x 8 7/8 inches 336 x 226 mm. Toning handling creases and minor scattered surface soiling throughout. There are scattered coeval inscriptions in ink on the recto and verso. A traditional Indian butter churn is operated by rapidly pulling a rope which turns a paddled spindle. The paddles churn cows milk inside a large jar until milk solids form. Ghee is made from cow milk butter which is treated with low heat until the water evaporates leaving behind milk solids. The solids are skimmed off or strained if needed. Ghee is a staple food on the Indian subcontinent and as a cooking oil it is the most widely used food in India apart from wheat and rice. Because of its exalted status at Hindu weddings ghee is expensive and in high demand. Male wedding guests are expected to compete with each other to see who can eat the most of it; consuming two pounds or more at a sitting is considered a proof of virility. <br /> <br /> On the stamp:<br /> <br /> The first revenue stamps in India were issued in the mid-nineteenth century during the Raj and they are still being issued to this day.

Rajput Ragamala miniature of a woman with a bell and rattle
1890. Ink and gouache with gold heightening on fibrous brown laid paper with a Jaipur Court Fee tax stamp in gray ink and the 1889 Jaipur State Council stamp in black ink 13 1/4 x 8 3/4 inches 335 x 222 mm. Toning handling creases and minor scattered surface soiling throughout. There are scattered coeval Hindi inscriptions in ink on the recto. "A ragamala translated from Sanskrit as "garland of ragas" is a series of paintings depicting a range of musical melodies known as ragas. Its root word raga means color mood and delight and the depiction of these moods was a favored subject in later Indian court paintings. The celebration of music in painting is a distinctly Indian preoccupation. Ragamalas were first identified as a specific painting genre in the second half of the fifteenth century but their ancestry can be traced to the fifth- to seventh-century Brihaddeshi treatise which states: "A raga is called by the learned that kind of composition which is adorned with musical notes . . . which have the effect of coloring the hearts of men." Often the mood or raga is also written as poetry on the margins of the painting. These works thus evocatively express the intersections of painting poetry and music in Indian court art." <br /> <br /> -The Metropolitan Museum of Art Exhibition Overview Ragamala: Picturing Sound December 2014.<br /> <br /> The first revenue stamps in India were issued in the mid-nineteenth century during the Raj and they are still being issued to this day. Apart from issues for the whole of India many princely states provinces and other states also had or still have their own revenue stamp issues. Before independence Indian revenue stamps were closely modeled on similar designs from Great Britain as is the case with this carriage motif stamp from Jaipur. The stamps were issued to denote various denominations including rupees and annas. An anna or Änna was a currency unit formerly used in British India equal to 1â„16 of a rupee. It was subdivided into four old Paisa or twelve pies thus there were 192 pies in a rupee. When the rupee was decimalized and subdivided into 100 new paise one anna was therefore equivalent to 6.25 paise. This particular stamp was used as evidence of court taxes remitted for property dealings. unknown
