یادداشتها
Bracelets were part of the traditional costume in most Islamic cultures, and were always originally worn in matching pairs. Plain flat penannular bracelets, like this, with a reinforced spine along the centre, are typical of those worn in North Africa, from Tunisia to Egypt. They are usually made of silver, and although many must have been made of copper or copper alloy for poorer women in the past, very few in this material have survived from the 19th century. This example was described as âModern Egyptianâ when it was acquired by the Museum in 1904, and probably came from the Western Desert, along the border with Libya.
