Recently i had seen a pair somewhere ( either a book or a museum) but i cant remember where ! Sorry.
The bond with other Sindhi pieces is remarkable...But possibilities could cover the whole subregion !
Fascinating. I am still wondering if the different scale of patterning from most similar Sindhi pieces I`ve seen points to anything.
Whatever, I love it!
Rare and beautiful and new to me, Lynn. Congratuations!
Good to see several photos. Personally I feel strongly it is likely to be Sindhi, as it is so close to the more frequently seen anklets. But I had not seen this jewel before, so can't swear to the locale - but I'd be very surprised if it turned out to be something else. I very much like the strength of the piece! Well done!
Congratulations, Lynn. Like so many others, I haven't seen this enamelled version before. I suppose it is the colour and placement of the enamel which triggers strong associations with Sindh....
Lynn, as this is so much smaller than the anklets, I wonder whether they may not have been worn with them - of course on the wrists. It is as Thelma says particularly the colour and placement of the enamel which makes them a fit for any closely matched anklets, but also, I feel, the surface treatment, and aesthetic similarity and compatibility. It is really very difficult to see them as anything other than Sindhi: they are clearly Pakistani, and they are clearly not from Multan either.
