Islamic art

A very elegant and refined bracelet dating from the end of the Qajar period (Qādjāre–Ottoman) made of bronze and adorned with delicate Islamic motifs and inscriptions. This bracelet, engraved with verses from the Quran, was worn by warriors during battles, in the belief that it would bring them divine protection and allow them to return alive from combat. The workmanship of the engraving and the harmony of the Islamic motifs on the bronze testify to great skill- 10 x 7 cm
