Hand grabbing a flower is a big common feature in old Algerian jewels. possibly inherited from ottoman times. I have seen it in many many pieces of old jewels from Algeria and les so from tunisia and Libya..... But almost exclusively on belt buckles!
This is a very nice bracelet
Thank you Alaa, now that you are mentioning belt buckles I remember the motif. I am just puzzled by this bracelet and wonder how old/new it may be.... But it's definitely attractive.
Very beautiful and elegant hands, Betty. It certainly looks urban. Are the flowers above the plain bracelets also attached to bracelets?
Thank you Thelma. Yes, the larger flowers are attached to the bracelet. I was just looking for a photo of showing the reverse, but it seems I forgot to take one...
