Document source description
The chased bracelet is made of a larger (2/3) and a smaller piece (1/3) that together form a hollow ring. The design depicts four-leaf clovers, six on the larger piece and three on the smaller piece of the ring. The lower rim has twenty-two loops, each with a ring and a drop-shaped pendant. One pendant is missing. This bracelet and Walters 57.2318 are a pair, and may have been produced in the same workshop.On the inner side of the bracelet is an Arabic stamp with the name of the ruler: al-Mahdi. The similarity to stamps of al-Mahdi al-"Abbas makes it likely that the pendants were produced under his reign from AH 1161 to 1189 (AD 1748-1775).In addition, a Hebrew inscription is engraved with the name of the silversmith: Kasil.
