Surya Rutten

Antico bellissimo bracciale etnico Kuchi in argento a cerchio con cerniera, turchese centrale e corniola nella parte retrostante. Afghanistan/Turkmenistan, prima metà XX secolo.
I Kuchi (o Kochi) sono un gruppo nomade e seminomade di etnia prevalentemente Pashtun, originario del sud e dell'est dell'Afghanistan. Il termine, derivante dal persiano "coloro che migrano", identifica pastori che spostano greggi di pecore e cammelli, spesso vivendo in povertà e in condizioni difficili.

La cultura Kuchi è famosa per la sua indipendenza, l'allevamento e la produzione di artigianato, in particolare gioielli in metallo e pietre dure.

Gioielli come questo sono tipici dell’artigianato Artistico Kuchi, interamente lavorati artigianalmente a mano ad uso autoctono e non destinati all’esportazione, spesso dei veri e propri capolavori orafi.

Il bellissimo Bracciale rigido a fascia, più largo nella porzione anteriore e più stretto in quella posteriore, interamente in argento finemente cesellato a motivi apotropaici tribali geometrici porta incastonato un grande turchese naturale di forma rettangolare in posizione centrale, mentre al retro è posizionata una fascia incernierata con chiusura agganciata. Questa  anch’essa finemente cesellata a reticolato porta al centro una corniola rotonda, garantendo altresì la massima indossabilità persino ad un polso maschile. Bellissima la struttura  sovrapposte della parte frontale che culmina nella pietra centrale.

Buono lo stato di conservazione che mantiene intatta la patina d’epoca senza recenti interventi di pulitura e/o lucidatura. Comprensibili segni di usura per questo pezzo raro che conta quasi un secolo di vita.
