Indian Silver Tribal Cuff

A silver bar twisted like a rope, open at the wrist.

Rajasthan, India, is the origin of this tribal cuff, made in silver. The record gives no date. Silver cuffs and bangles are commonly worn in Rajasthan as everyday jewelry and as a form of portable wealth. This one is a heavy bar with a pronounced spiral twist, ending in two flattened faces stamped with faint marks. The metal is a soft gray-white, worn smooth and slightly dented from long use.

About three inches high and four wide. It sits well on a wrist or a small stand.
