Antique Tunisian silver cuff bracelet with engraved lozenges and punched borders, North African ethnic jewelry
$236.43
Open silver bracelet from Tunisia. The outer decoration is arranged in horizontal registers: rows of small oblique punch marks frame a sequence of incised lozenges crossed by intersecting lines. Between these motifs, fine punched marks create regularly spaced geometric fields. This piece belongs to the Tunisian tradition of open silver band bracelets, with ornament based on repeated engraved and punched patterns. Scratches and wear soften the surfaces, while darkened recesses emphasize the design.
