maybe the angle of the photograph has contributed a lot to this perception of ugliness, I feel that if this photo had been taken with the camera positioned 90 degrees at mid-blade, & with a small F-stop we might be seeing something different here.

What Alan remarked is true indeed and I have asked for more photo to be given.

I'm with Alan. I love the pamor but not too crazy about the dapor.

I'm OK with the dhapur, what turns me off is the execution, when the photo was taken from a bad angle that misrepresented proportion, and that compounded the less than good effect, but now that has been fixed the overall impression is really not so bad.

Yes, it is the same with the brass plating motif having warangan removed.
