Vintage Hand Painted Mother of Pearl Bracelet with Silver Clasp

Vintage Mother of Pearl Hand Painted Link Bracelet from the Middle East from the 1940's. It has twelve mother of pearl panels carved so that a small rectangle is risen above the base. The panels are connected together through wires drilled through  the panels. Each panel is a miniature painting drawn with a single brush hair under a magnifying glass and display people, animals and flowers.

The bracelet closes with a tongue-in-groove clasp that tests as silver and is original to the bracelet. The bracelet is in good vintage condition, but there is some loss to the paint in a few places.  This is a lovely old bracelet akin to wearing a miniature art gallery on your wrist.
