[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 565143, member: 2844"]Yes, southeastern Balkans. I don't think the two protrusions are meant to be breasts. They evolved from two ends of a long case that was attached to the band of the bracelet, probably an amulet case. The slanted bands you see on kard's bracelet and the vertical ones on the last example inh posted are reminiscent of the cord or leather thong that originally tied the case to the wrist band. For the amulet case, think this kind of shape: [ATTACH=full]172233[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]172234[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
