The listing, ANTIQUE HAND CARVED LEATHER WRAPPED SCARAB BRACELET!!! LOWERED GIN has ended.
Ok so this one is (in my opinion) one of my coolest pieces that is still a complete mystery to me. This bracelet dates back long ago, not exactly sure when. It is all hand made/carved. It features a large hand carved scarab on one side but you can flip it around and there is a hand carved image on the reverse. And there's lies the mystery. I have no idea what the image means. I have done a basic search and found similar symbols but none in that exact order and none that I could piece together. It looks like a mountain or line, followed by and apostrophe and then a bird facing the right (NOT LEFT, apparently that ls a big deal .. so I've been told) And then three straight lines underneath it all. If anyone has an ideas I would love to hear them. The band is extremely thick and ALL leather. There is so much detail on the leather band (see pics) each section has a different pattern. There is metal too. I'm not sure of the type. The 2 very end caps appear to be gold but I'm not 100% sure so I am listing this as not gold. And it could be Silver on the other pieces.. again, not sure so not listing as Silver either. The bracelet is in great condition for its age and would be beautiful for a male or female. It has a simple clasp which is all intact. And each little metal piece has detail to it as well. It's just all around a gorgeous piece that someone put a lot of time and thought into. Don't miss out on this one!!
