This is a book-piece design shown in "William Spratling and the Mexican Silver Renaissance" by Penny C. Morrill, where it's noted that the "Nahui Ollin", or "Four Movement" cuff bracelet replicates the glyph at the center of the carved stone Aztec Calenda. This design was included in the Spratling LACMA collection.
Massive, weighing 167.6 grams. Width at the center is 2 5/16". Inside edge to edge is 6 1/16". Gap/Opening is an additional 1 1/8".

In excellent vintage condition. No issues whatsoever. Amethysts are free of any cracks and chips, with quartz and natural inclusions. Perfectly matched in color.
