Antique Maranao Philippines 🇵🇭 Tribal Bracelet RARE! Jewelry Filipino Asian

Description

Antique Maranao Philippines 🇵🇭 Tribal Bracelet RARE! Jewelry Filipino Asian. Shipped with USPS First Class.
Simply amazing and uber rare Maranao bracelet. The Maranao people live on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. They are Muslim and are known as “the people of the lake”. Their jewelry making tradition is strong and has ties to Malaysian jewelry of this era. The bracelet is likely mid 19th century. Obtained from a multigenerational collection that started in the Philippines in the 19th century. Along with many traditional antique Filipino weapons was this hidden jewel that no one recognized. It’s made of brass and the filigree diamond may be low grade silver. I haven’t tested for silver. The stone is likely glass. Very unique clasp type that allows the bracelet to be put on a bit easier but doesn’t open wide. These bracelets are very, very rare. It will be a unique addition to any collection of jewelry, particularly Asian jewelry. Ships FREE, ASAP! Please see photos and ask any questions before purchase. Thanks
