Taj Mahal Monument Rochard Limoges Box
The Taj Mahal, the great monument of Agra, rises on this hand-painted Rochard porcelain box. It was made in Limoges, France, to honor one of the most admired buildings on earth.
A Monument to Love
Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal in Agra in the 1600s as a tomb for his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. It took about twenty years and thousands of artisans to finish. The porcelain version echoes that devotion on a small scale, with its details painted by hand.
Agra at Sunrise
Give it to a traveler back from India, a family with Indian heritage, an architect, or a couple marking a milestone anniversary, since the Taj is first and foremost a love story. It also suits a world history teacher or a friend who has the trip on a bucket list. Set it on a shelf with travel photos, a study bookcase or a desk beside a globe.
