Bird and flowers bracelet, Egypt

Again, the main body of the cuff appears to be a "sleitat fadda" found mainly in the Neguev and Sinai in Egypt and also in Palestine where the seem to be referred to as Hebron bracelets. The addition of birds and flowers points out to Ottoman influence. Egyptian hallmarks.

The ornaments do look a lot like the ornament on the ring I posted on the comments of your first bracelet.

See the birds and the flower.
