Syrian Ziggurats: Cast in an alloy of 50% Silver and 50% copper and given a thick Fine Silver plating, these antique bracelets, extremely rare, some say come from Libya. I have always thought of them as Syrian, and i think you would be convinced too, by seeing Kalter, Arts and Crafts of Syria, p. 91. These bracelets were made in Damascus in the late 1800's by Christian silversmiths: Catholics and Armenians. They are very old even though they look contemporary. Isn't that a beautiful example of the timelessness of great art. 2-1/4" inner diameter at the widest point, opening is 3/4". $335. for the pair.
