339 Old SIlver Kaandaa Phool Toe Rings - Indian Jewelry

Old SIlver Kaandaa Phool Toe Rings - Indian Jewelry with Cultural Significance

Toe rings are worn as a sign of marital status

The aesthetics of every region evolved within its cultural environment.

This pair from Maharashtra is designed like the flower of the onion plant [kaandaa] as that plant grows in the region and is popular in the diet.

Little bells surround a central stamen-like cone. Beautifully handcrafted.

Age unknown but estimated to be from the 1960s-1970s

Rare.

I shall probably not see another similar piece ever again.

PRICE IS FOR ONE EACH OF THE PAIR - AS THESE CAN BE USED AS FINGER RINGS
