Islamic Sculptures, Indian Sculpture
Islamic sculptures in India show the amalgamation of Persian and native Hindu styles.

Sculpture of Jama Masjid, New DelhiThe Islamic sculptures in India evolved by following the idioms of both the Persian art and the ancient Hindu art and sculpture. In fact it was with the invasion of the Muslim and the emergence of Delhi Sultanates that the Islamic sculpture and architecture came into vogue. Today it has intermingled in such a way with the mainstream that the features are inseparable.

Yet the Islamic sculptures stand out with their intricate carvings and details. Foliage sculpture, animal and human motifs and calligraphy are important features of the Islamic sculptures. In fact the Indo Islamic sculptures are scattered everywhere in India and speak volumes about their popularity.
