Dogon Silver Ring

A broad ring with four round studs set in a neat diamond, rough inside and polished out.

This dogon silver ring is Dogon, from West Africa, and dates to the late 19th or early 20th century. The Dogon people live along the Bandiagara escarpment in Mali, and are well known for their masks, figures and finely worked metal ornaments. A wide band, textured and pocked inside, with a smoother, lightly dented outer face. Four small domes are arranged in a diamond shape at the front. The finish is pale and slightly worn.

Four dots, one decision, and no regrets.
