Interesting& beautiful! I've never seen an enamelled cuff from this region before. Is the enamelling original?
I was re photographing and deleting all my postings as I re take the photos some previously listed things will appear. Yes this is original. Many older items from Shan group have enameling. We don't see it much now but they were available way back occasionally. I purchased this in the UK from some one who purchased in the field. Also my friends Chinalai Tribal antiques have a good selection or did of Shan work with enameling. In the early days I purchased many items from them of this type of work. The full frontal pectoals , many with fish are very beautiful and have some times have enameling. I am upset I never purchased one of those when they were available. They were always very expensive.
