Vintage mother of pearl hand painted cuff Bracelet from the Middle East from the 1940s.
A refined example of Middle Eastern artisanal design, this vintage bangle marries mother of pearl inlays with tin-plated copper in a harmonious composition. Hand-painted narratives depicting mounted figures, birds, and floral arrangements adorn the surface with meticulous detail. The piece retains its vintage patina gracefully, with some marks on the interior that speak to its storied past.
