Description from the seller

Welcome, read until the end, thank you.
-I present to you this interesting silver hinge bracelet of Ottoman workmanship, decorated with small turquoise cabochons set on the front, serving to protect against the evil eye.
-Of particular interest is the repousse work which leaves the inner side without an added flat lamina, reflecting its tribal or village origin; this particular repeated motif is intriguing.
-The eye and the horizontal line could represent a stylized fish, a symbol of prosperity, fertility, and protection against the evil eye.
-In an apotropaic key, it could be just a stylized eye that, reproduced in all directions, has the function of confounding negative energies and malignant influences.
-It could also symbolize grains such as wheat.
All of it is interspersed with two protruding rivets and a series of chiselled laminae.
-In conclusion, its unusual appearance, its tribal aura, the workmanship, and its symbols make it a powerful talisman and amulet, it attracts prosperity and fertility and protects from the evil eye and from negativity.
-Details: Weighs about 90 grams
Diameter between 6 and 6.2 cm

-Photos taken with natural light to be considered an integral part of the description.
Fast shipping, proper packaging.

-Notes: I am an avid collector of traditional ethnic jewelry with a taste for studying and deepening my personal knowledge, and moreover I connect the jewelry with the person it is intended for in order to give new life to these pieces so that they can be appreciated and handed down.
