Featured Curious about Country of origin

It looks Indian made to me, but not traditional. Nice design.
I agree with agate, not too sure about obsidian. Maybe onyx? Or even glass?

 

Love the texture

 

Would you say upper arm cuff or wrist cuff???

 

Seen things from Afghanistan made like this, maybe it's from there?

 

The style is loosely Turkmen Kuchi, although they use a lot of coral and turquoise ..maybe in the more remote areas of the steppes, agates and carnelian are more commonly used?

 

Agreed. Let's just say Afghany-ish for now - hard to get more specific.

 

I agree. It could be 60s, Hippie Trail jewellery. It has that feel.
I still love Hippie Trail jewellery, whether from Asia or from North Africa.

 

I was on that trail and all I got to show for it was a smelly leather jacket

 

I don't think there was much mixing between the Turkmen and the Kuchi, both groups are fiercely tribal. In that region fiercely means exactly that.

Kuchi is used nowadays as a coverall term for anything made by nomadic peoples in Western Asia and the western part of India. However, this is not Kuchi.
As for Turkmen, the shape is reminiscent of some Turkmen cuff bracelets, but that is as far as it goes. Most Turkmen cuffs have 'claws' at the back, btw.
This is a Turkmen cuff without claws, but as you can see, the style is very different:

 

Agree.

 

And a great experience, I hope.

 

So you still think it's from India then, right?

 

Most likely option imo. And not traditional, but related to the souvenir link bracelets and pendants with the same agate combo. Those are Indian made, but also exported to the Middle East where they are sold as locally made.
This one is nicer though.

 

Just to explain the claws, here is an antique silver with goldwash and carnelian Turkmen cuff bracelet with 'claws' at the back, they symbolize protection.



Apolgies for the eery blueish glow on the claws, I am wearing a blue shirt.
