Description
The following description was prepared by William Gross:
One of the primary traditional crafts of Yemen, silver work, was for many generations an exclusive profession of the Jews living in Yemen. These silversmiths produced jewelry for both Jews and Muslims.This bracelet is a part of that ancient tradition. This particular design with its protrusions resembling tombstones is particularly rare. The size of the bracelet would indicate that it was made for a young girl to be worn on special ocassions.
