Indian Silver Lion Bracelet

The ends of this cuff look like they are about to say something.

This silver bracelet comes from Rajasthan, India, and dates to the 20th century. Heavy silver cuffs are widely worn in the region and are often made with decorated terminals. This piece is a thick, open ring that tapers to two bulky, boxy ends, each carved with lines, ridges and small round forms. Tiny settings of orange-red coral-colored stone are visible on the terminals. The silver is soft grey, dulled by wear, with darker toning in the grooves.

Sized to be worn, with a weight you will notice. Pair it with plain sleeves.
