Philippines Maranao bracelet

Posted by Lynn Ardent on November 7, 2015 at 4:58am
This is an old gilt copper bracelet from the Philippines island of Mindanao. The Maranao people are Muslim and have a unique style of adornment not found elsewhere on the Philippines. This is a typical Maranao bracelet with a floral repousse design, and a large filigreed plaque with a green stone which cover the closure. This bracelet is tiny and a Facebook poster from the Philippines reported that even the Maranao women had to put it on with a silk cloth over the hand. More photos in the comments.

    Thanks for posting it here as well as on Facebook, and the photos as well as the piece itself are splendid.
