Silversmith's hallmark or perhaps owner's name on several spots on the anklet, but difficult to photograph. Anyone idea from where this is from?

    My fist guess would be Yemeni. I have a some pieces from that area with similar "cube" finials

    Howah, see below two pics of Yemeni anklets with a similar work. By the way, very nice piece that of yours.

    Hi Jose,

     

    Thank you so much for your input. The similarity between the 2 you posted and mine are striking. Yours are very nice too by the way. I added a close up photo of the stamp in Arabic. I hope someone can translate it for me.

    Thanks Hillary! It's indeed very similar to mine, but with bells.
