Lovely cuff bracelet from Siwa Oasis "suarr nguren" 01.03.1892

A traditional cylinder-shaped cuff bracelet from Siwa Oasis with a sun and star motif and Berber iconography.  It is riveted with three large silver studs and has two sidebar,  also riveted with silver studs. Van Roode (2017, 138) comments that the sun-burst motif is a common motif among the Berber peoples of North Africa, and that it often is misread as a flower motif. Silver stamp and silversmith's signature.
