Uzbek Samarkant hinged bracelet

Posted by Johanne on May 20, 2011 at 3:46pm

Small old Uzbek (Samarkant) silver bracelet, blue glass stones, coral beads. It fits me (but painfully!).Inner diam. 5 cm/2 inches. I bought it on a fleamarket from a dealer of Serbia. As be a real Byzantine piece... It took some time to find out what it really was. I found it on page 212 of "Jewellery of the Orient" (Bir collection) by Wolf-Dieta Seiwert. A wonderful book, a must for every collector.
