the use of the hallmark to stamp the entire surface of the bracelet as well as the polylobed (French polylobé) edges at the opening are common features foud on anklets from the high plateau in eastern morocco and the saharan atlas of algeria
BUT these anklets do often come in rather thick silver (different grades) opposite to yours which seems to be waaay thinner!
I think that this may be Central Asian, I have a similar one that is a replica made in Soviet times as it has all of the Soviet hallmarks.
Thank you both for your opinions. Could you please post a picture of your bracelets/ anklets if available and you have the time? Thank you again.
no. this is not Tuareg. Sorry, I wish I could help.
I think this looks Central Asian, possibly Kazak. That would be my first impression.
Kazakh or Uzbek in my opinion, nice cuff. Good to wear I think..
Thank you all for your input. I appreciate your taking out the time to post.
