AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent traditional Tunisian wedding cuff bracelet, from the region of Sfax or the Sahel, dating from the 20th century.
This authentic ethnic jewelry in solid silver was entirely hammered and chiseled by hand according to ancestral know-how; its domed, beaded decor emphasizes a strong traditional symbolism through protective engravings of birds, geometric sun motifs, and fish, the latter embodying luck and fertility.
The object is in very good overall condition and features a beautiful patina of wear that superbly highlights the reliefs of its motifs.
In full transparency, there is simply the presence of a very slight loss or a fine wear crack at one of the ends; this small detail is completely normal for this type of antique jewelry shaped from a sheet of silver and it does not affect the bracelet's solidity or aesthetics once worn on the wrist.
This unique Berber and tribal piece will add an essential bohemian chic touch to your collection or to your outfits.
Length: 7.9 cm
Diameter: 6.5 cm
