Extraordinary Siam Silver Large Cuff Bracelet
Item #DI128315
Measures 3-1/8" wide at front, tapering to 1-3/8" wide at back. Inside band measures 5" long, with 1-1/4" gap. This magnificent bracelet is difficult to fully appreciate without seeing it in person. It weighs 62 grams (2.2 ounces). The design shows deities from the Ramayana in high relief, with hand-engraved detail. The floral motifs surrounding these deities are cast in extraordinary detail. Although unmarked, the silver tests as sterling or better. No wear or damage to the bracelet front. The inside shows rubbing and wear where a previous owner tested the silver content. Moderate patina of vintage silver has been left undisturbed. This is a rare and extremely desirable early piece of silverwork from a country more commonly known for its nielloware. $525.00 (Includes insured shipping to a U.S.A. address)
