Vintage Tuareg / Berber tribal ring handcrafted in traditional Saharan style with fine hand-engraved geometric motifs around the band. This piece features a slightly open band design with repeating Tuareg decorative elements including spirals, punch-dot borders, and linear engravings typical of Saharan silversmith work.

Size is between 12.5-12.75, weight 13g

Material: Traditional Forged Metal (Likely Coin Silver Alloy)

Provenance: From a group of African objects acquired via estate sale auction from the personal collection of African art scholar Roy Sieber. Documentation supporting this past ownership is available to the buyer upon request (personal information and pricing redacted).

Not cleaned or fully tested for metal composition. Not attracted by magnet. A discreet surface test confirms a consistent silver-white color throughout the metal, with no yellow or red base-metal undertones visible. In the absence of an XRF gun, a chemical acid test was declined as it would require invasive scratching that would compromise the integrity of this historic piece.
