About the Item

A striking and bold example of traditional Yemeni jewelry, this Silver Band, crafted circa 1900, showcases a rugged and expressive aesthetic characteristic of regional silversmithing. The central feature of the band is a prominent line of thick, spike-shaped projections, crudely but powerfully formed, creating a strong, rhythmic pattern along its length. Framing the central design, the upper and lower edges of the band are adorned with finely detailed circular granules and twisted filigree rope patterns, adding a contrasting refinement to the otherwise raw central motif. The interior of the band, where it rests against the skin, is left smooth and flat, ensuring comfort for the wearer despite the dramatic exterior texture. Slightly flexible by design, the band can be gently adjusted to fit around the upper or lower forearm, and it is worn without the use of a clasp or notch, relying instead on its form and tension to stay in place. 1.82ozt
