BRACELETS - KURDISTAN-IRAQ

The design of these bracelets make the wrists of the lady look very fine and petite. A very clever but also unusual design.

    Nice bracelets Peter. I would say these are most probably come from Deir el Zoor in syria and if they are not then they are very similar in the design to the Deir el Zoor Bracelets. I have a few and I will post them soon for comparison. Br

    Unusual but very beautiful and unique bracelets. First time I see such design in bracelets. Beautiful

    I agree with Sami, they look like Deir Ezoor bracelets.

    I love these bracelets, very soulful as most jewelry from the Levant is.  I have found some museum references that also ID them as a Syrian design.

    Like you wrote Peter a well used set.  I love the thoughtful design of its comfortably shaped out, not the case with loads of cuffs. I like also besides its strong decoration the lock,and such a generous pin.

    For some reason this wonderful pair has escaped my attention until now. Congratulations and thanks for showing them, Peter. It's he first time I see this style and I like it very much  ....Regards, Betty
