Indian Bracelet with Flower Imprint

Two flat panels etched with petals, joined by a spring of wire.

This bracelet with flower imprint is silver, from Rajasthan, India. Silver cuffs are widely made across Rajasthan and are commonly worn as part of everyday and festive jewelry. Two broad, slightly tapered plates face each other at the opening, each engraved with a stylized flower in a framed border. Between them run several twisted wires that form the open back of the cuff. The silver is bright and lightly scratched, with dark lines in the engraving.

Wear it, or let it sit on a console like a tiny gate.
