Antique Hinged Tamil Nadu Bracelet

Posted by Jasmineium on November 4, 2016 at 4:53am
This is a beautiful heavy gauge, high grade solid silver bracelet from Tamil Nadu, South India. It is a five-part, hinged bracelet with the repousse worked panels decorated in typically south Indian leaf scroll patterns and foliate patterns. The central square panel has a stepped pyramid unit, suggests a Hindu temple tower ("sikhar" a Sanskrit word translating literally to "mountain peak", refers to the rising tower in the Hindu temple architecture ), topped by a raised silver diamond. All panels are decorated with finals, joined by five-lugged hinges and opens from the top to one side with a pin mechanism.This item is for Sale
