Nepalese Cuff with Double Fish Motif

Filigree cuff with a round medallion showing a crowned, flame-shaped design.

This sterling silver cuff with double fish motif is from Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The pair of golden fish is one of the eight auspicious symbols of Buddhism, and it is generally taken to represent good fortune and abundance. Wide band lined with rope borders and fine swirling wire. The central circle holds a pierced design with a tall pointed form and a small dark blue accent. The band curves gently and the finish is polished and bright.

Delicate work with enough nerve to be worn every day.
