Bracelet (USA)

We have 3 images of Bracelet (USA) .

Frontal view of a bracelet made from three hollow, braided 'ropes' of intricately braided strands of medium-brown human hair, with gold fastenings. At the top of the bracelet is a round, gold, three part clasp joined by hinge-pins. The two smaller segments on either end of the closure grasp the braided ends of the bracelets' hair volumes, and connect with a central, longer gold clasp. The smaller clasp on our left is decorated with an incised pattern resembling an eye shape and connects to the central clasp with a small round hinge. The central clasp has an incised swirling pattern of an asymentrical cartouche, and connects to the other cincher with the fastener, a round hinge with removable bolt. The gold cincher on the right is incised with a diamond within a diamond pattern. Midway around the bracelet, at the bottom, is another gold band, the same length as the central 'Catch' with a pattern of adjoining, incised Xes with inner and outer diamond shaped patterns.
