ETHNIC TRIBAL 1880 Rajasthan Southern India Antique Silver Bracelet Bangle

About the Item

An antique southern Rajasthan bangle. This is a very fine and wearable silver bracelet from the Southern India region or possibly Sri Lanka. It is hinged and opens with a screw mechanism. It is crafted with bold look, of thick hollow silver, so has very good substantial weight. The sides are completely embossed and repousse with fluted patterns and the the front of the bracelet has a high mid-section with two spherical finials which hide the concealed screw mechanism. The rear of the bracelet is similarly decorated. Bracelets with this type of decorative work were worn in both South India and Sri Lanka with Tamil silversmiths operating in both locations so it is possible that this bracelet is from either place. It is in excellent condition. It is of solid silver which has developed a fantastic patina from age and wear. It is of a good size and would fit most wrists or arms. Repoussé Is a term from the French or repoussage is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is shaped by hammering from the reverse side to create a design in low relief. Chasing (French: ciselure) or embossing is a similar technique in which the piece is hammered on the front side, sinking the metal. Country: Rajasthan, southern India, Sri Lanka (Ceylon).
