1994.43 Bazu band

Men and women wore bazu bands, that is, bejeweled bands that decorated the upper arm a few inches below the shoulder. This example is enameled on the back. The front is embellished with precious stones, an indication of the wearer's wealth. Bazu bands are often depicted in Indian painting and sculpture.
