Beautiful and unique bracelet. Nice wire work and fantastic design with very precise spacing and wire work. Speaking of North African I could not recognize this as a LIBYAN bracelet. I could perhaps see some ARABIC lettering but to me it is not Libyan. The hallmark also is not familiar to me as Libyan.
These bracelets were made for tourism in the 1930's Mainly sold in Agleria and Morocco.
Thanks both! I showed this to a man from Afghanistan who now lives in Holland and he thought Morocco. He deals in ethnic jewellery and Lapis Lazuli. The Arabic says 'Allah'. It sits nicely on the wrist.
