Nepalese Cuff with Kalichakra Motif

Scrolled, rope-edged cuff centers a round emblem inside a stepped square frame.

This sterling silver cuff with Kalachakra motif is from Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. Kalachakra, meaning wheel of time, is a teaching and a deity of Tibetan Buddhism, and its symbols are often shown in sacred art. Wide cuff with braided edging and curling filigree on each side. The center holds a circular medallion with a white emblem on dark red, surrounded by a stepped, geometric border. The open back gap shows plain ends.

Lace for the wrist, with a very serious centerpiece.
