This is the result of judiciously applied black oil paint and yellow glass lacquer.
I would only to smoothen it with very soft sand paper. Sorry !
Actually a very beautiful bracelet, it comes over to me as chinees, just the atmosphere around it. So solid.
No problem, Ingrid. I forgot to say, I did smooth it a little first. And my applications are quite easily removed.
Thanks, I think it`s lovely, too, and is my most favourite bracelet. You are right about it being solid. Though it`s possible that it`s plaster filled.
There has been discussion previously about the derivation of this bracelet ( I have earlier photos ). The silver, here unseen, portrays the Buddhist protective deity Chepu. I bought it from a seller who has been dealing in more upmarket Nepalese and Tibetan items for many years. It was actually described as Tibetan.
