Heirloom Arm Bangle from Nagaland
The form has persisted until recent times, but the delicacy, the patina, and the lightness all point to a much earlier example of Naga arm bracelet. A very similar one is illustrated in Jacobs' "The Nagas", p. 264.

This one is 1-5/8" wide and 2-7/8" inner diameter. Point to point it measures 5-1/2 inches. The wear holes in the metal are visible in the photographs. We are listing it as Pre-1900 but it could be very much older than that date implies.

We guarantee all our offerings, but to anyone who has been burned by purchasing a fake piece of Naga jewelry on-line we want to emphasize our unconditional guarantee on this piece.
