The image depicts one of several traditional dances performed during the Mughal era. These performances took place in courtly gatherings called mehfils, where the tawaif (highly sophisticated courtesans) catered to nobility with poetry and music. The tawaif were deeply influential and were considered an authority on etiquette. The dances were a type of storytelling told through hand movements, footwork, facial expressions, bends, and turns. This specific dance is called kathak and still performed today.

Under the soil, or in the shadows is often where brilliant and beautiful things begin. The origin story of ceramics goes something like this: anthropologists believe clay’s unique properties were discovered by smearing wet clay on the inside of a basket to waterproof it, which was then placed over a fire. It became a hard and permanent stone-like shell of the initial vessel. To me, this is not unlike birds building nests, adding clay to strengthen and shape their vessels/architecture.
