About the Item
This antique silver cuff bracelet is a bold and intricately detailed piece, featuring a highly ornate repoussé (hammered relief) design depicting mythology figures and a hunting scene. The craftsmanship and artistic style suggest it originates from North Africa, where silver jewelry played a significant role in both adornment and symbolism.
The design, technique, and iconography suggest that this bracelet was made between the late 19th century and early to mid-20th century. It bears strong similarities to tribal and regional silver jewelry from North Africa (Morocco, Algeria, or Tunisia).
The scene on this antique silver cuff bracelet depicts a lion attacking an antelope, a motif commonly found in mythological and symbolic artwork. One of the most striking elements is are two mythological figures, portrayed with a human-like head and the body of an animal. This hybrid creature could represent a legendary being, a deity, or a symbolic guardian figure, often seen in ancient Middle Eastern, Persian, or North African artistic traditions.
The combination of predatory animals and mythological beings suggests that the bracelet’s design may be influenced by folklore, spiritual beliefs, or historical battle representations. The intricate repoussé technique and decorative floral patterns further emphasize its artisanal craftsmanship and cultural significance, making it a unique and collectible piece from the late 19th to early 20th century.
The bracelet is made for allowing flexibility and easy wear, a common feature in regional tribal silver jewelry.
Heavy patina, indicating age and authenticity, further emphasizing its antique heritage.
The weight of the bracelet is 42 grams.
