    $6 thrift find, I won't be getting hurt. I tried Google Lens, not finding one like it. What could be the origin and age? Should I clean it with brass cleaner? Thanks.

    Above, the horizontal loop is soldered shut like that.

    Indian, Turkish...somewhere in there. The loop and pin, or whatever the proper name is, clasps are common thereabouts. My money is on India.

    It is a Palestinian bracelet imo. Guesstimate 1900-1920, but these have been made later as well.
    Beautiful cannetille, elaborate dangles on the clasp pin, those are telltale signs of the Palestinian tradition.
    The bands of overlapping rings are originally an Arab feature which have become a Palestinian tradition. They could have been introduced by Yemeni jewellery makers who have settled in Palestine for centuries because of the pilgrim trade.
    These specific figure 8 links with the bands around the middle are seen in Palestine, Syria, that general area.

    Frankly I see nothing Indian or Turkish at all. Besides, those are two separate cultures with very different jewellery styles.

    Wowzer, thank you! Should I attempt to clean it or leave it as is?

    It is best to leave it as is.
