AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful bracelet that was worn on the upper arm by Tharu women, a tribal ethnicity living in the forests of southern Nepal.

Hand-engraved, the floral motifs indicate a strong connection to nature, and the fish are a symbol of fertility, prosperity, and the ability to navigate life's difficult events. Terminals shaped like cords and lotus petals recall the cyclical nature of life.

It is slipped over the hand.

Measures 9.7 cm x 9.7 cm
Diameter approximately 6 cm

In generally good condition, rigid, solid structure, although there are signs of wear as shown in the photos.

From a personal collection, purchased in Nepal

Mixed metals with a subtle golden coloration
