    How old is this little bracelet and where would it have possibly originated from?

    I think that would have been a bit noisy around a kids wrist.
    It would be better around a cats neck to save birds.

    I don't know how big it is, but there are parts of the world where grown women have small wrists. Could be a dancing bracelet, but I have no idea of the region.

    Hi,
    I thought it was from a goat. I lived in the country too long I guess.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    I've never seen one quite like that!!! And I have several SS coral & bells baby rattles & whistles.....all English I believe! (but they need to be checked!!) Have you scoured it with a loup for any markings?? Any chance it's Sterling? Hard to tell from the color of the images..... :rolleyes::smuggrin::rolleyes::smuggrin::rolleyes::smuggrin:

    It's Indian. Nautch bells. May have actually clipped on the nose, I've seen them like that.
