Nose ring (nath) from Himachal Pradesh, with a gold crescent-shaped fish design decorated with floral patterned granulation and a fringe of wired-on pearl beads. Weighing 22g, the nose ring measures 6cm high and 5cm wide. The hinged gold wire loop which completes the circle has a series of decorative elements individually loose-strung along its length with a meandering floral stem connecting the lower part of the two elipses. A pair of gold and pearl danglers with spiky babul work on top hang respectively from the bottom of the ring and from the floral pearl, turquoise and red stones (rubies or garnets) motif next to the closing end where the loop encloses a ring at the end of the crescent. The stones are set on a bed of red lac within a gold wire bezel mounting. The loop originally would have been secured with some kind of pin, now missing, but is now secured with a piece of silver wire twisted through the engaged rings. Further along the loop there is a large red gem-stone with pearls either side strung between two gold babul-work orbs, under which there are two floral-shaped elements with turquoises encircled with silver wire-strung pearls. From the collection of Dr Waltraud Ganguly, author of Nose Rings of India, published in Delhi, 2015, the nose ring was later acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Accession Number IS.391-2019.
