Hazara Openwork Bracelet with Colored Glass

A wide bracelet of Hazara origin, crafted from brass, with an openwork design and a clasp. This type of jewelry was characteristic of the regions inhabited by the Hazara and served both decorative and symbolic purposes, constituting an element of clothing with a distinct cultural identity.

The surface is decorated with incised floral ornamentation and colored glass settings in shades of red, blue, and green. The juxtaposition of the openwork structure with colorful accents creates a composition that is visually light, yet formally decisive. The motifs and technique are in keeping with traditional Hazara craftsmanship, devoid of jewelry regularity.

Condition appropriate for antique jewelry: visible patina, abrasions, and minor irregularities resulting from age and use. Decorative elements preserved, clasp functional. Keywords: Hazara bracelet, openwork, wide, brass, colored glass, ethnic jewelry, antique.
