A great pair of wide prop cuff bracelets in the style of Siwa. Unlike the usual type of Siwa bracelet, this pair is not made of silver but of metal. I think it is likely that these bracelets were used as a prop accessory in a film or a theatrical production. At any rate, they are great fun to wear!
The Siwa oasis in Egypt is a remote desert oasis and its jewelry styles have more in common with the Amazigh of North Africa.
Each bracelet measures 21 cm (8 1/4") inner circumference (closed). The diameter is 7 cm (2 5/8"). It is 8 cm wide (3 1/4") and together, the two bracelets weigh 274 grams.
