Tripoli hallmark. A very similar one is shown in Elisa Schenone's "Libyan Jewellery. A journey through symbols"

Good find Jose, people often mistake them for huge rings or small bracelets.

Thank you very much, Alaa. Yes, I actually saw in Saad Al Jadir's "Arab & Islamic Silver" that an almost identical one is described as a child's bracelet from Yemen.
