This exceptionally detailed bracelet is crafted from ingot silver, with five turquoise gems and applied and stamped detailing, including arrows and whirling logs (good fortune). 2 1/8 wide, 77.7 grams. The cuff bracelet has residue of clear nail polish that over the years has oranged, as shown on the inside of the bracelet. The inside measurement is currently 6" and the gap is 1 1/4", total: 7 1/4 total, could be slightly enlarged by gentle pressure or made slightly smaller via compression.

The price is based upon a ballpark valuation by appraiser Jim Haas formerly at Butterfields back in the 2002 (now Bonhams). I have not seen another one like it. Unsigned, as expected in an early piece, likely made for personal wear - not the trade or tourist market.
