Step into the rich tapestry of history with Morphed India's home decor, where traditional Indian art breathes new life into classic designs. Our curated Morphed India's Malik Ambar cushion cover showcases a fusion of heritage and aesthetics, featuring products inspired by an ancient Rajasthani painting with an iconic arch set against a captivating yellow background.
Delve into the story of Malik Ambar, an intriguing historical figure who later became the Prime Minister of Ahmadnagar. Born in 1549 in Ethiopia, Malik Ambar's journey from slavery to governance is a testament to resilience and leadership. The redesign of our home decor pieces captures the essence of his vibrant life, mirroring his rise to power and strategic brilliance.
Malik Ambar, a military genius, rose to prominence by assembling a mercenary army and catching the eye of the Ahmadnagar ruler. His influence reached new heights when he strategically placed his candidate, Murtaza Nizam Shah, on the throne in 1595, eventually becoming the Prime Minister and Regent of the kingdom. The vibrant portrayal of Malik Ambar against a violet backdrop showcases his regal attire – a striped turban, a white shawl, and floral-patterned trousers paired with saffron slippers and a golden kamarband. The portrait, adorned with intricate details, depicts him wielding a sword, dagger, and knife, with a green writing case attached to his red belt. The painting, inscribed in both Persian and Devanagari characters, adds an extra layer of historical charm. Interestingly, a similar portrait in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, was initially thought to be Malik Ambar but is now recognized as his son, Fateh Khan.
In this exclusive portrait, Malik Ambar stands majestically against a violet backdrop, adorned in a striped turban, a white shawl, and red flowered trousers. His accessories, including saffron slippers and a golden kamarband with geometric patterns, add a touch of regality. The painting, inscribed with Malik Ambar's name in Persian and Devanagari characters, is a visual masterpiece.
The "Portrait of Malik Ambar" painting was made between 1605 and 1610. The creator is unknown. However, the location was Deccan.
