Indian Silver Cuff

A wide golden cuff that narrows at the waist like an hourglass.

This cuff was made in gold in India. The record gives no date. Wide cuffs of this type are commonly worn at the wrist in South Asian jewelry traditions. The band flares at both ends and narrows to a slim waist. Raised ropes of fine twisted wire edge the top and bottom, and a broad hammered panel fills the middle, with a visible soft faceting where the metal was worked. The rim is turned over for comfort, and the color is a warm, buttery gold.

About 4 inches across. Wearable, or simply splendid on a stand.
