Moroccan gold and silver bracelet

Gold & Silver ‘Moon & Sun’ Bracelet

inside diameter: 6cm, weight: 99g

Bracelets such as this example were made in the North-West of Morocco.

It comprises a silver band onto which gold plaques shaped as four-sided pyramids and repoussed with foliage motifs have been attached and secured with silver pins.

The bracelet is hinged with the hinge coming apart via a removable pin which is attached to the bracelet by means of a silver chain.

A similar bracelet but with silver rather than gold plaques is illustrated in Rabate & Goldenberg (1999, p. 54).

The example here has an excellent patina and obvious age. The condition is stable and wearable.
