Bracelet

Description

These bracelets are examples of traditional Kazakh jewelry from the mid-19th century. The ornaments are made from thin metal plates with a clasp at the center, featuring a round casting with a red glass insert resembling carnelian.
On one bracelet, the casting is adorned with twisted wire and four triangular granules, forming a decorative pattern. The other bracelet lacks these elements. The edges of both bracelets are framed with several rows of twisted wire, with a pressed ribbon running through the center. The remaining surface is decorated with triangular granules arranged in two rows with pointed ends facing each other. Additionally, the clasp is embellished with a casting containing a round glass insert, triangular granules, twisted wire, and a pressed ribbon, consistent with the overall decorative scheme.
