Love this!
Congratulations Peter, this is an iconic armlet, of a type I have only seen in books and never for sale. Wonderful!!
Dear Hillary and Lynn; Many thanks for your messages - much appreciated. The seller has one of these armlets left - I might as well buy it as well during my next visit to Riyadh, even though I did not find it in a as good shape as the others. Having said that, I had the same feeling of the armlet on this picture, when choosing the first two armlets. But after cleaning, it looks as good as the others and some of the patterned work is even better... Also, they are not cheap and the seller (even though it is a rather dusty place) has arranged price tags on most of his items. Also, he has attached pairs to each other, in order not to loose them, which I do not very often see. With kind regards. Peter
A great piece, both in overall design and decoration. Wonderful to get - and very rare.
