Culla — Storia e analisi

Questa culla è un esempio dei mobili lussuosi realizzati in Asia per i funzionari della VOC. La sua forma è europea, ma il falegname indiano ha utilizzato materiali orientali, come ebano e avorio. La decorazione non consiste in motivi floreali, come era consuetudine per i mobili, ma piuttosto in figure hindù, come il makara, una creatura mitologica simile a un pesce.
