A 430-carat emerald the size of a tangerine, a dagger and scabbard studded with 2,400 rubies, diamonds, emeralds, ivory and agate---these now-unthinkably costly objects are stunning examples in an exhibition that illustrates the wealth and craftsmanship found in Mughal India during its three centuries of Islamic rule.

Now at Singapore's Asian Civilisations Museum, this traveling exhibition includes 402 highlights from the al-Sabah collection, one of the world’s largest and most valuable collections of Islamic art with about 30,000 artifacts. (Some 59 pieces from the collection went missing in Baghdad when Saddam Hussein was overthrown.)
