The Horse Disc
Ongoing
Art discs made of re-used boats
For centuries, Goa was an important port for the import of Arabian horses to India. During the Portuguese rule, about 50% of the revenue came from the horse trade. The Portuguese supplied Arabian horses to the Deccan empires. Their major client was the Vijayanagar Kingdom. At the base of Vithala temple in Hampi, there is a stone carving of a Portuguese trader supplying horses to the king. The Horse Disc is created with pieces of old dhows.
