Tribal Bangles, Central India, mid 20th century
*







*
These vintage tribal bangles from central India are hollow and lightweight.
A metal wire is used to fasten the bangle over the wrist.
Bangles worn by the Shekhawati community of Rajasthan, are similar but the balls are smaller and solid.
While those are worn higher much higher up on the arm, these are worn at the wrist.
