Indian Silver Tribal Cuff

A smooth silver crescent with pointed, faceted tips.

This tribal cuff is from Rajasthan, India, and is made in silver. Silver crescent ornaments are widely used in the region and are often worn or given for special occasions. The shape is a wide, flat arc with a diamond-faceted knob at each end. There is a small scratched mark near one side that is difficult to read. The silver is a deep grey with a satin finish. Its surface is mostly plain.

About four inches in each direction. Simple, solid and rather stately.
