This seems to be an early and stylized version of the "sleitat fadda" or Hebron bracelets found in the Sinai and in Hebron.

I love it. Is there a book on palestinian/Middle Eastern jewelry?

Thank you to you all. I had been in search of one of these, as well as a Haydari like the one I posted some days ago, for a long time, so I am very happy. I do not know of any book specific on Palestinian jewellery but I am sure there must be ... Maybe they are not in English but in French or German.

Congratulations on this bracelet.

There are sections of books on Palestinian jewellery in English. Look up Palestinian Costume by Shelagh Weir and Palestinian Costume by Jehan Rajab. There is also Traditional Palestinian Embroidery and Jewelry by Abed Al Samih Abu Omar.

I have a couple of Palestinian pieces that I will post one of these days.
