Rajasthan Silver Armband (Naugari) from India

Worn by a farmer’s wife, this old silver armband (naugari) has a diameter of 12.5 cm. The 7 gajre balls attached to the central circle are made from a thick stamped silver sheet, which is important when identifying a naugari. Another example is included in Oppi Untracht’s masterly book, Traditional Jewelry of India, page 255.
