There will be more than 150 pieces on display dating from the 17th through the early 19th centuries. Included are examples of rings, anklets, earrings, hair pendants and jeweled crowns for women as well as for deities displaying gold, jewels, and enameling primarily from South India. Members, guests, and general public are invited to join in this and future Fine Arts Society educational experiences. Lunch will follow at the MFA Café, cost dependent on menu choice.
