Rare Old Antique Asian Chinese Huanghuali Wood "Yellow Flowering Pear" - Carved Serpent Snake Leaf Pattern - Coil Bypass Bangle Bracelet

Very old antique Chinese / Asian wooden bracelet:

~ I believe this to be carved from the rarest, most valuable Chinese wood known modernly as "huanghuali" which translates into "yellow flowering pear" - pre 1900 it was called huali or hula

~ Prized for it's glossy sheen and characteristics that delight the eye - abstract ghost faces being the most sought after - I think you can pick out a few in this bracelet if you study the marks and beckon your imagination

~ Stylized snake or possibly leaf pattern in this wrap / coil / by pass style slip on bangle

~ I have a feeling that this is Chinese in origin - but other closely related Asian origin is also possible

~ Very old Victorian Chinoiserie / Chinese export era

~ Guessing late 1800's to early 1900's in age - as it was purchased with others in that exact age range

Ready and waiting for your wrist, collection, or gift giving - You will love it!

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. I will try my best to note anything glaring or distracting. Do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part of the description.
