I think this bracelet is Swiss. It was broken when I purchased it. I had it restored by a local jeweler. It is wide, over two inches. The inside is bright yellow enamel or maybe painted. The center piece looks like a pied piper playing his flute mounted onto an oval chalcedony stone. To either side of the large center portion is a hinged panel, closing with a hook in the back. I think it is quite old - possibly to the 1800's early 1900's.
I love restoration pieces!!! Beautiful!!!
Lovely! Might be a figure of Till Eulenspiegel?
Till Eulenspiegel is an impudent trickster figure originating in Middle Low German folklore. His tales were disseminated in popular printed editions narrating a string of lightly connected episodes that outlined his picaresque career, primarily in Germany, the Low Countries and France. He made his main entrance in English-speaking culture late in the nineteenth century as "Owlglass".
