A very good bracelet, Veronica. We post one almost identical to this in *Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment*, p. 391, which also carries the Bosani/Bawsani stamp. The workmanship in both cases is exqusite.

is it possible to show the Bawsani stamp please?

Would be interested to see it.

Thanks

Sarah, I suggest Veronica is the right person to do it, as I am still so clumsy with a digital camera!

Hi Sarah,

I posted the pic with the hallmark so you can see it. Regards, V.

Veronica: The book I mentioned was *Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment*, by my wife Truus Daalder: see the picture next to this, which Sarah has put there. Or, in other words, go to our website for the book: www.ethnicartpress.com.au, where you will find a lot of info (including reviews, sample pages, etc). You would not regret buying: every purchaser has been very happy, and the reception has been truly great. It can be bought from us, but also Amazon, for example. Amazon.com sells it quite reasonably - in fact, cheaply, for the kind of book it is. We cannot quite compete except in Australia, but we often sell three copies in one parcel, in which case the book becomes MUCH cheaper, as you pay a wholesale price (if that interests you, write to us via the website. Please also join us on facebook at "Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment". Thanks for your interest. - Joost
