Indian Silver Bracelet

A knobby open cuff studded with round beads and tiny crouching shapes.

This silver bracelet from India is from India. Much traditional Indian silver jewelry is made by hand through casting, hammering and chasing, with the metal valued for its brightness and its place in family savings. A narrow, bumpy bracelet with a line of small raised figures and worn textured segments, each separated by a bright round bead. The ends are blocky and crusty, and the metal has a dull, aged finish. It is 3 inches long, 0.3 deep and 2.5 high.

A lumpy little parade, with pearl-like bumps in the lead.
