Indonesian Ring with Male Torso Motif

Cream torso in a heavy, rock-textured bezel with plenty of bulk.

This ring with a male torso motif is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary. It is bone & sterling silver. Bali has a long history of silversmithing and carving, with workshops in villages such as Celuk that are known for jewelry made by hand. The carved figure is ivory-toned with defined ribs and abdomen, sunk slightly below the rim.

Small figure, serious jewelry, no apologies at all.
