Spanish antique Damascus 24K metal inlaid craft bird and fire dragon totem bracelet

▰▰▰▰▰▰𝐃𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞▰▰▰▰▰▰ The Damascus bracelet that many people asked about, in addition to the common flower and bird pattern, this one is particularly interspersed with a fire-breathing (looks like) dragon. Dragons are very different in Eastern and Western cultures. Asia mostly represents auspiciousness, gods, nobility and wisdom. Even in Bhutan, dragons are directly printed on the national flag. And to West Asia, such as Turkey and Israel, the dragon has become a symbol of monsters. As for Europe and Africa, most of them regard it as evil (some countries and nations still have positive meanings). The briskly flying birds and the lowly roaring dragon on the ground echo each other. It is really curious what this arrangement means... ---- Spain’s Damascene crafts and metal inlay craftsmanship can be traced back to the Syrian capital-Damascus more than 2000 years ago. Later in the eighth century, it was brought into the Iberian Peninsula (now Spain) with the invasion of the Moors. And Portugal), and it was also introduced to Japan through the Silk Road in the same period. Take iron or copper alloy as the carcass. After fine lines are carved on the surface, the real gold and silver flakes are made into patterns and beaten to fit them. The above lacquer firing process prevents the carcass from oxidizing and rusting, then polishing and applying With fine micro-carving techniques, it is finally set into the jewelry. ▰▰▰▰▰▰ antique details▰▰▰▰▰▰ Brand mark: ia (staff mark: Midas of Toledo Spain) Period: 1960~1970 Material: Alloy gold-plated, 24K metal inlaid pattern Size: chain length about 16 cm Product status: with safety chain design, 70% new ▰▰▰▰▰▰About the case inside▰▰▰▰▰▰ https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50996237628_d6a8f750d9_c.jpg ✧𝐈✧The director personally selects the jewelry and old pieces from the United States, Britain, West, Germany, Italy, Japan and other places from 1920 to 1990. ✧𝐈𝐈✧ The products are old, even if they are brand-new stocks, they may not reach the brand-new status.
