Antique Tribal Silver Bracelet ETJ46

This tribal antique silver bracelet has a particularly wide band. Wide band silver bracelets with engraved decoration were worn mainly by the women of the Lahu, Akha and Lisu minority hill tribe groups of Southeast Asia.

The bracelet is made from high grade silver (about 92%) and bears a traditional floral motif. It retains its aged patina but if desired could be brought to a high shine.
