Indonesian Ring with Indra Motif

A carved cream-pale figure crammed into a rectangle of rough grey, shoulders and all.

This ring with an Indra motif in bone and sterling silver from Bali is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary. Carved bone has been used for ornaments for thousands of years because it is easy to cut, takes fine detail and can be polished. Large rectangular ring face with a waisted outline, edged in pitted grey. The pale, creamy panel is carved in relief with a robed figure, coiling cords and fine fringe at the lower edge.

Crowded, detailed, and not remotely sorry.
