Diamond-decked serpech of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh.
Diamond-decked serpech of Maharaja Bhupinder Singh.
Maharaja Bhupinder Singh of Patiala flaunted an astonishing serpech, an accessory for the turban. Decked with numerous dazzling gems, it was auctioned off for $1,70,000. This piece of jewellery also holds historical importance due to the fact that they were worn by the Maharajas on their turban after they were prohibited by the British from wearing English-style crowns.
