Wood carving in Gujarāt in the Mughal (Mughal Dynasty) period (1556–1707) shows a happy synthesis of the indigenous and Mughal styles. Jaina wooden pavilions of the late 16th and 17th centuries are richly sculptured with scenes from Jaina mythology and contemporary life and with imaginative floral, animal, and geometrical motifs; figural sculpture has a great vivacity and rhythm. Application of a rich red lacquer to the wood was common. Many sumptuous wooden facades of the 19th century have been preserved, but the ornamentation lacks the grace and movement of earlier work.
