Indian Silver Tribal Cuff

Plain on the outside and quietly dignified.

This silver tribal cuff comes from India, with no date in the record. Wide silver cuffs were commonly worn as jewelry, and as a store of value, in many parts of the subcontinent. A broad curved band with a gentle overlap at the opening has a hammered, matte surface of pale grey, softly worn and lightly spotted. The ends round off simply. Its beauty is mostly in its weight and plain scale.

About 2 inches wide and 3 across. For a bare arm or a bowl on a shelf.
