Description
A large, c-shaped bracelet with a wide flat band, a large square plate in the centre, two smaller square plates near the ends, and two rounded knobs on the ends. The square central plate and two smaller square plates are densely engraved with fine linear and geometric designs emanating from a central circular shape. The band is decorated with two sets of engraved lines. This bracelet could have been made by a Tuareg or Moor silversmith for sale on the international tourist market.
