Indian Silver Tribal Cuff

A crescent of hammered silver, with a round knob at each tip.

This tribal cuff comes from Rajasthan, India, and is made in silver. Broad silver neck and arm ornaments are widely worn in the region. The piece is a wide, open crescent, thickest in the center and tapering to two small round ends. The surface is beaten and slightly uneven, with soft grey-white tones and faint scratches. It looks lightly worn and handled, with a faint darker toning where the hammering is deepest.

About three inches high and four across. Heavy in feeling, pleasing in the hand.
