Old Silver Alloy Naga Armlets
#194812
A pair of elegant, minimalist Naga, NE India armlets with flared terminals, with four inner lips "folded" in the casting process. These are seen in brass,but pairs are hard to come by. More rare is finding a pair in silver alloy as here. Great surface patina and wear. Plenty of evidence of the original casting process. Pre- 20th century. These would have been the proud prestige ornaments of a Naga headhunter family.
widest diameter: 10 cm/ 4 in
