The two confronting lion heads that terminate the bracelet are the highlight of the design. The lions have been designed with extraordinary detail, including recessed eyes and ears and intricate facial features that convey a sense of majesty and strength. The interior of the hoop is decorated with two rows of strapwork, which is a type of decorative pattern that imitates a strip of leather. The bracelet's exterior has raised ribs interspersed with scrolls, which add depth and texture to the design.
This Islamic silver bracelet is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship, and it serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of the Islamic metalworkers of the 10th to 15th centuries.
