Indian Silver Armband

Silver that has been handled, and shows it, in the best way.

Another armband from India, this one in silver, shares its twin’s tapered tubular shape. Such bands are commonly worn on the upper arm and are associated with adornment and with wealth held in metal. A thin collar rim circles the narrow top, and a broader rim finishes the base. The hammered finish is a little more uneven here, catching the light in cloudy patches, and a faint warm tone gathers near the lower rim.

About 6 inches tall and 4 inches across. Wear it or place it. It will not argue.
