Detail of the elaborate end pieces.---A pair of North Indian cuffs with elaborate filigree and stamped appliques. Along the closure there is filigree and arrow shapes. On either side of the hinge there are rows of flowers and more protective arrows. With traces of shiny pink foil. Said to be from Rajasthan, I would love more opinions on the origin and people that used them. More photos in the comments.Dimensions:560 grams together105mm highFrom 70mm to 90mm wide
