Unique handmade old antique / vintage Native American cuff bracelet:
~ Features unique oval shaped centerpiece
~ Adorned with a very interesting and rare stylized floral motif
~ The finest deep dark azure blue colored turquoise - I believe it may the highly prized Tyrone Azure variety
~ Coveted to be the most valuable and brightest blue turquoise ever to be found in New Mexico
~ Rare symbols or pictographs adorn each side consisting of five groups of three on each side - they look to be joined arches or crescent moon shapes - I can't find any information on it or any similarly shaped examples at all
~ Double bracelet band comes together in the very back by the wrist opening
~ Full of life and lore
Ready and waiting for your wrist, collection, or gift giving - you will love this!

"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
