I don't know what it is, but it is quite attractive! On many Multan pieces, the silver and enamel are ground down together to make a flat surface. To me, this ring resembles that technique. If it is manufactured this way, I think it is unlikely to be plated. However, some Multan work is 50/50 silver and brass, or just brass.
Thanks for your comment Lynn. The reason I think it is plated is that the plating has worn off on the back of the ring. Otherwise I agree with you. The technique looks very Multan. Enamel and metal are on one level.
What a beauty Betty - nicely executed and a lovely deep rich blue. The pattern - the silver rim, the lines linking the different elements - look Multani to me.
Dear Betty, I found this reference in the British Museum which may be applicable: http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_...
Thanks a lot, Lynn. I think that's spot on! The shape, size and material all correspond...
