This lovely but tiny bracelet was sourced in Ethiopia, but most likely is from the Northern part of the coastal region of Tihama in Yemen (see M. Ramsom's book p. 136). Wonderfully worn, solid silver weighing 70g, Unfortunately it is too small for me (a mere 4.6 max. inner diameter), so I am considering to part with it.

Beautiful bracelet Betty. It is too bad that it does not fit you. I like very much the deep engravings and also the fact that it is quite worn and old.. Thank you for posting this for us to see.
