    “
    Excellent antique condition. Perhaps this was a sword fitting that has been re-purposed into a bracelet (as they did with so much of ancient and antique fine pieces). The chain is missing - I don't like to try an repair antiquities such as this. Please see pictures as they represent most of the description.

    Information by 1st Dibs: samari piece : Rectangular links form this bracelet, each depicting a different symbolic scene. Shakudo was an art form of Japanese metal workers. Sometimes called mixed metals, this example is sterling silver, highlighted in gold, The images are in
    fine relief. They are crisp and readable. Shakudo was originally made to decorate sword handles. This traditional metal art was done in the Samurai era by esteemed artisans who crafted swords, weapons and armor. Examples can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. When the Samurai class was abolished in the late 19th century, shakudo was made into decorative objects and jewelry. Though not frequent to the market, It is well known by collectors of this specific art form and by those who study antique jewelry .
