A good friend of mine found this while going thru her great aunts estate which came to the USA from ireland in I. believe early 30s. Thought this was really cool and has anyone else seen anything like it.
A belly-dancer's cuff?
This came from the Indian subcontinent.
What aand when was the indian subcontinent?
I mean India. If I'd said Indian it could be confused with American Indian. These bracelets are probably still being made today. I've had a few. They were popular in the seventies with all the hippy culture and Krishna consciousness. Mine and yours are silver plated. You can see the corrosion in the photos - it's oxidisation. They do fine work. Their silver work in India is amazing and is the basis of metal work in most cultures today.
