Description

A richly decorated Jaipur navratna bangle, featuring brilliant polychrome enamelling and set with multiple cabochon gemstones. The circular form terminates in two opposing sculpted makara heads, their features finely modelled and embellished with vibrant green, red, and white enamel. The outer surface is arranged with repeating gem-set floral roundels, each framed by delicate enamelled petals in shades of blue, pink, and gold.


The interior is equally ornate, displaying dense floral meena enamelling characteristic of Jaipur workshop craftsmanship. The hinged opening is neatly integrated at the terminals, secured with a pin closure discreetly placed between the makara jaws.
