This small Timurid lapis lazuli sculpture depicts an enthroned couple seated together in a compact architectural form, with traces of blue and white mineral variation across the surface. The carving preserves the figures’ frontal posture, head coverings, jewelry, and seated arrangement, giving the object a strong courtly presence despite its modest scale. Its Afghan origin, 14th-century date, and documented provenance through Christie’s, Art Primitivo, and H. Schouten support its placement within the Asian collection.
