Unsigned North African / Berber-Style Tribal Coin & Beaded Bracelet, c. 1970s–1980s
A bold statement bracelet in the North African Berber tribal tradition, comprising five large circular gold-tone medallions — each decorated with concentric spiral wire-work and lozenge stampings — suspended from a multi-strand band of gold-tone metal beads interspersed with cobalt blue glass tubes, red glass discs, and pale bone or shell spacer bars. The construction closely follows the fibula-pin medallion format historically used in Moroccan and Algerian Berber adornment, where disc ornaments signified prosperity and protective power. Today the piece reads as an unapologetically maximalist arm stack anchor, equally at home layered over a linen shirt or worn alone as a collector's statement.
