Heavy Ingot Twist Cuff

This major chunk of sterling is a testament to true silver smithing. The artist moved massive cables of silver with heat and a hammer into an elegant expression of design. You can see from the texture of the interior that it was formed from a solid ingot and patiently took the shape it now has. While there are no specific markers, I believe this is North African.
