    Beautiful! Thank you also for the good description and historic explanation. It is such a pity when people show here beautiful objects and all one can read is e.g."bracelet". Everyone can see it is a bracelet, but what interests us, is where they are from, their age, their history, etc. So thanks for this!!!
