    For me "Zar" are possession rituals in Egypt...and I really don't know if there is any link with this?

    Best regards

    http://www.bedouinsilver.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Zar-bracele... This is a pic of a zar bracelet from bedouinsilver site -- the engraving on yours looks like it, but I cannot see th figures well.

    There are similarities but my upper hand has a different design ( no small balls and  abstract talismanic engravings), has a different structure and no closing...it turns around the arm on a very supple way)...I don't think mine would be "zar"and that it is from bedouin...but I agree that the tracing of a juwel is sometimes difficult Best regards
