A hefty high-purity silver bracelet from the Miao (or related) people. Collected in 1984. Probably early to mid-20th century.

Miao bracelet which can be adjusted in size. Traditional style, but fairly recently made.

Looks very small for a torque! What is its diameter? The construction would be unusual for a torque too - far more common for an armband. Nice object, anyway. It does not look earlier than at the earliest about 1950 to me.

If you just try to imagine what would happen in practice ... how do you think this could be worn as a TORQUE, i.e. a neckring? Who would put it on and take it off??
