A most original Pashtoon silver bracelet, possibly from the Kuchi group, from Afghanistan or Northern Pakistan. Its shows a great chiselling work that is highlighted by the application of enamel decoration that makes of this piece a very interesting sample. Very nice patina. The Kuchi people, from the Persian -koch- meaning migration, are Afghan pashtoons nomads divided in a number of tribes that inhabit areas of Afghanistan and, to a lesser extent, Pakistan. Their jewellery is quite often very colourful using silver, glass and, in some fewer cases, enamel. Mid-XXth century or earlier.
