Description

Large silver armlet divided into three panels by two horizontal silver strips attached to it. The strips are decorated with a tear-drop pattern in bright blue and yellow enamel (now chipping) and bordered with a silver braid design. Each panel has a large red stone in center with four small silver beads around it. Each panel is also fully decorated with impressed designs. Very like 72-5-1, but not a pair with it. Note differences in dimensions.
