Indian Silver Tribal Cuff

Hinged, thumb-punched and entirely without ornament.

This tribal cuff is made of silver in India. Silver cuffs have long been worn across the subcontinent, often by women in village communities. The form here is a broad band that narrows toward the center, with flat, flared edges at the top and bottom and rows of small punched dots in lines along the surface. The silver is dull and warm grey, with soft scuffs. The open back makes it easy to slip on.

About three inches across. It has presence on a wrist and on a shelf.
