Old tribal rings from Southern Pakistan

Posted by Akkie on December 30, 2014 at 6:15pm
This enamel jewelry with these motifs were brought back by the Mughals to Southern Pakistan. Of Sindh to the city Multan. All rings have a Tree of live motif like the rings in the picture on the right. I think these rings are rarer than the other kind. In any case i see them on the internet almost never! Or are they perhaps not interesting enough to trade ???Maybe someone can tell more about it? I would very appreciate!

    Hi, these are typical for the area . Aren't these multan style ? We had allot of posting last year on this material.  I have a few now also like it.

    These are very beautiful and I think the patterning is nicer than on many Multan rings.  Congratulations!

    These have a lovely shape and beautiful color.

    Thanks for your comment , Despite intensive use are the colors and the signs still remained.
    Unknown(?) but just as nice as all those other 'Multan' rings, i think.
