Bracelets were part of traditional costume in most Islamic cultures, and were always originally worn in matching pairs. These examples were described as âModern Egyptianâ when they were acquired by the Museum in 1904. The polyhedral ends, made from a cube with the corners cut off, are typical of the traditional jewellery of the Sahara, and are often found on earrings, as well as bracelets, from the Red Sea to the Atlantic. However, their small size, gilding, and the decorative turquoise motifs suggest that they were more probably made for an urban wearer.

Fiziksel açıklama
Pair of thin silver-gilt penannular bracelets. Each consists of an oval of screw wire with a cube with truncated corners at each end. A turquoise in a cylindrical mount is attached at each end, next to the terminal, between two discs with small domes on their surface. A similar motif, of a turquoise between two domed discs, is attached to the outside of the bracelet in its centre. 323-1904 has lost all stones.
