Silver Bracelet - Timor

A high-purity silver man's bracelet from Timor. Many types of men's bracelets had a martial as well as an ornamental function. Heavy, spiked silver bracelets, especially when worn in multiples, can be very effective in clost combat, both for defense and offense.

    We rarely see Indonesian jewellery here. Thanks for sharing this picture. I can only agree that this is a stunning piece!

    What a beauty! What is the inner size? Those male braceletshave always much smaller inner size than we are used to.

    The narrowest part of the gap for inserting your wrist into the bracelet is 1.7 cm. The inner space for your wrist is 5.1 x 3.7 cm. As it is now, it's not wearable for the average westerner. But it certainly is beautiful! I display it on a black steel stand with a group of other Timor bracelets.
