Hathipole silver

हाथीपोल चांदी बाज़ार

Tribal silver by weight, sold through the gate the elephants used

Closed now Commercial BuyWatch

Made or sold primarily for buyers. The form is traditional; the production usually is not.

Heavy Rajasthani and Bhil silver — anklets, hansli neck rings, amulet boxes — traditionally bought and sold by weight rather than by design, which is a different transaction from the one most visitors expect. Some of it is old and pawned back; much of it is new work in old forms. Both are legitimate; conflating them is not.
