For a period of some six centuries—from the late tenth to the sixteenth century A.D.—Khambhāt was the premier port of western India. Positioned at the interface between northern India and the Indian Ocean trading network, Khambhāt was not only a transit point for commodities from both areas but also a production site in its own right and a major center of Muslim patronage of architecture and fine marble carving. This article examines the production of marble carvings for Muslim patrons at the port of Khambhāt and its seaborne export to patrons around the Indian Ocean littoral, from East Africa to eastern Java. Taking the approach that every stone carving is a document that can tell the story of its own manufacture, and coupling this approach with stylistic, iconographic and epigraphic analyses, the article examines the processes of the commodity's production at Khambhāt, and patterns of consumption by patrons in Gujarat and abroad.
