    Description

    The alam, or Islamic flag, is crafted from finely crafted bronze. The shaped body of the alam features a superb sequence of convex and concave profiles, narrowing from the broad foot to the slender top. The stem is surmounted by a broad, lyre-shaped double crescent, the curved from of which contains pierced Arabic script.

    The alam was created in India in the 18th Century during its Islamic Mughal Empire period, and thus represents a piece not only of Islamic interest, but of Indian interest too.
