The seventeenth-century Huqqa base (1.9.3) was created by an Islamic artist, or artists, in India.
The Huqqa base is the base of a water pipe. It was used for inhalation, and a long stem was joined to its neck for this purpose. These Huqqas are globular in shape, become spherical as it rises, and the neck tapers towards the top. It is decorated with various patterns including foliage and flowers.
Its development is linked to the introduction of tobacco in India in the 16th to 17th centuries. Local artists found new work opportunities, in fashioning metals and working new designs into Huqqa bases. This was so in places like Bidar. Smoking soon became widely prevalent in Indian society, particularly in the Deccan parts.
