Description from the seller

Welcome, read to the end, thank you.
- I present to you this interesting silver hinge bracelet of Ottoman craftsmanship, decorated with small turquoise cabochons set on the front, with the function of protecting against the evil eye.

- Of particular interest is the repousse workmanship that 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 a stylized eye that, reproduced in all directions, has the function of confounding negativities and malignant influences.
- It could also symbolize grains of cereals such as wheat.
All of this is interspersed with two protruding studs and a series of chased laminations.
- 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 negativities.
- Details: It 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 a passionate collector of traditional ethnic jewelry with a taste for studying and deepening my personal knowledge, and not least I connect the jewelry with the person it is intended for in order to give them new life so they can be appreciated and passed down.
