A twisted wire cuff bracelet made in Egypt and worn in both Egypt and Palestine mostly by Bedouin women. The bracelet is probably from the early 1900s and made of mixed metals. It features three thick wires braided together and ending in polyhedral finials. The finials have a hallmark that I cannot make out. It is a rare type of bracelet that has become highly collectible. It is in reasonable vintage condition and fits a small wrist.

Similar bracelets can be seen in the Quai Branly Museum (71.1989.25.94.1-2) and the ‎National Museum of Egyptian Civilization.
