Indonesian Ring with Tibetan Love Knot Motif

Set in a very gritty home, a cream tablet shows a neat knot pattern.

This fossil mammoth tusk and sterling silver ring with Tibetan love knot motif is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary. The Tibetan love knot is one of the eight auspicious symbols of Buddhism, an endless knot generally read as a sign of unity and interwoven fortune. Creamy and rectangular, the inlay carries a raised interlocking knot design, set into a pitted and blackened metal frame. The sides of the band are rough, and the inlay has a slight sheen.
