Indian Silver Tribal Cuff

A battered crescent that has clearly lived a full life.

This silver tribal cuff comes from Rajasthan, India. Wide silver cuffs and collars are common in the region’s jewelry. The piece is a broad, open crescent that tapers to two rounded ends, and its surface is covered with scratches, fine hammer marks and gentle dents. The color is a pale, cloudy white, brighter where it has been rubbed. A quiet, honest object, with no ornament beyond the marks of use and a soft cloudy shine.

About four inches high and three wide. Wear it, or let it lean against a candlestick.
