    That is interesting, Ait. I know about the calligraphy bracelets but did not see the calligraphy on this one. Can you pinpoint it to a specific country or region of North Africa?

    It is western production during the french colonie time in northafrica, mostly local samples with a litle changing and adding of feligree caligraphie of names of coutries
    Usualy we find: maghrib, tunis and aldjazair in arabic
    Between 1920 art deco until 1960, later on it continues but much less
    There is actualy last months a quatity of this bracelets in the net
