An Afghan dealer said he thought the markings were North African... But this is definitely not a North African cuff
Nice piece, Cordelia. It is definitely Turkoman by shape. It looks like it may be a nice grade silver. If it is not silver, I would venture a guest that it might be a "starter" bracelet for a younger girl. What size is it?
yes, definetly torkomen or region around with the same samples.
it looks different from the usualy seen :gilded with carbelian. but the form and work is the same. could be as hillary wrote for a girl or just a jewel fro dayly wear and not only special occasions. cold be also in small area or nomade groupe. i will tip for a nomadic work
a splendid piece how is the weisght 350 gr arround ??
Lovely piece. Nice wear - I like it. I am not an expert when it comes to Turkoman jewellery, but Turkmen people live scattered of a wide region and there are lots of variations from the "classics". I have seen quite a few pieces without without carnelians and/or gilding, some of them with etchings. The etchings on this piece really seem unusual, though their shape resembles the "cat's eye's" setting you typically find in Turkoman jewellery.
hello - the patterns are actually engraved not etched. it means they are cut with a sharp tool, (whereas etching is done with acid). the zigzags are made using pressure on a slender chisel-like blade rocked from side to side-
