This beautifully hand-crafted bracelet consists of 5 hinged segments, each made of intricately woven layers of silver filigree with floral, leaf, and scroll patterns.  The 3 middle panels are inset with hand carved and painted (or inked) ox bone, each carving portraying 2 figures in different positions. According to Collector’s Weekly, the figures carved in ox bone represent Chang Kuo-Lao (an old man with mystic powers), Chung-Li Chuan (chief of the immortals), and Lu Don-Pin (a Taoist Scholar). According to an identical listing,  the silver is probably 900 Chinese silver, and the date of manufacture is probably early 1900s, when this type of bracelet was produced for the local and export markets. There are no markings to confirm the purity of the silver.  The bracelet closes with a working box clasp and is also secured with a safety chain. The bracelet weighs 32 grams; it measures 3 cm. x 17.8 cm. (1-3/16 in. x 7 in.); the inside diameter of the bracelet is 5.7 cm. (2 ¼  in.), and the inner circumference is 17.5 cm. (6-7/8 in). The bracelet is in excellent antique condition, has an even patina and tarnish commensurate with its age. There is one barely noticeable edge dent (photo 10) and there is a spot of green (top right photo 12) that may suggest copper alloy in some of the silver wire. There is a tiny bit of copper color showing on an edge of the latch (photo 17) and on the hinge hardware (photo 18), but the silver filigree and frames of the panels do not show any other metal. I have tried to clearly and accurately describe the condition and show all blemishes in the photos, which are part of the description. Smoke-free, pet-free home.
