About this piece
The clasp is the best part, and it knows it.
Indian metalworkers of the 20th century made this brass bar chain with lotus motifs and open peacock hooks. Such chains are often associated with swings and hanging furniture. In the photograph the two hooks overlap, their pointed, bird-like heads turning outward, each with a tiny incised eye. The links beside them are turned and ribbed, with lotus buds. The brass is blackened by age, with lighter glints on the high points.
About 91 inches long. Hang it where the light can find the joints.
