    Good day.

    Would love if someone on this forum could give me some info on this cuff Bracelet i picked-up at auction last year.
    I got it tested ( beyond 925 sterling). Weighs 103 Grams.
    Someone told me it could be of Balinese origin, there is not stamp marks anywhere like ( Indochina..Etc).
    Thanks in advance for any info and best regards.

    Thanks I need Help, i looked with a 10X and 30X magnifier and there is nothing decipherable in that rectangle which is 1.5MM X 1.MM in size( there seems to be something stamped there but very faint, almost like a curled up dragon or snake), one Gentle;men told me he thought that would be the hallmark for the silver.
    Its definitely not a cast, it is repousse and carved with small punches and knives..there is so much detail in this piece. Every time i look at it i wonder how long it must of taken a craftsman to make such a detailled piece of ornamentation.

    Depending on the experience of the silversmith... it could take 5 hours or so.

    If it were not so clearly not from there, I would have guessed Egyptian; their marks are punched in rectangles.

    It is stunning, a classic Thai cuff bracelet, they used to wear them in pairs.

    Thanks to all of you, kind of confirms what i had gathered from my research, probably will never find THE matching one, picked-it up at auction for 45$ U.S all In so not bad, my Wife has taken a liking to it :)!!

    That is one thing i am not certain about though, i have seen a few of the indochinese ones after doing some research, the Deities seem more like from the Hindhu religion on this one, very Fierce looking!!
    Most Indochinese ones i come across are more on the foliage,pastoral, dancers as subjects on the cuffs.
    Though this one below has a ton of ressemblance to mine, maybe less appealing from an export point of view to the "haute classe Ladies"" from Paris or Hong-King than the more peacefull subjects.
