This magnificent bracelet dates to the early 20th century. It is made of coin silver (roughly 80%) that has been handcrafted using traditional Omani or Yemeni Bedouin methods. The bracelet is hollow and has seeds or small wooden beads inside that produce a melodic rattle when the bracelet is moved or worn. The bracelet has clean and intact traditional silver-solder seams. The finely detailed craftsmanship of this bracelet includes repousse raised facets that were pushed out from inside, then chased with tiny steel punches and chisels. The chasing covers every external surface of this bracelet with protective symbolic motifs and stylized floral rosettes. The bracelet is sized for a comfortable fit on a small to medium sized wrist. The normal patina of vintage silver has been left undisturbed.
Measures 3/4 inch wide and rises 3/4 inch proud from the wrist. Inside circumference is 5-1/4 inches, with a 1 inch gap, for a wearable length of 6-1/4 inches. Weight is 1.5 ounces.
Excellent antique condition. with no cracks or breaks in the silver. There is one dent on an inside edge, visible in the photos.
