AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Superb ancient Berber cuff bracelet from Tunisia, handmade in high-purity silver (probably 800). Very beautiful traditional North African craftsmanship with a geometrically chiseled decor typical of Tunisian artisanship and a lovely antique patina.
The bracelet bears an antique hallmark on the inside, resembling a female face, as well as the number 5, probably corresponding to an old sizing system used by Tunisian silversmiths.
Authentic piece bearing history, which can be worn by both men and women. Ethnic, bohemian, tribal, Tuareg, Bedouin style.
