The clasp consists of a long-snouted dog - possibly a Greyhound on one side and a recumbent lionesque animal on the other. The large lion animal lies curled around a pineapple coral form. Immediately behind this animal is a carved coral ball, which resembles antique carved Chinese items. The bracelet is utterly unique. Quality of carving is very good.
Marks: there are no identifying marks of any sort to be found. We acid tested the gold, which stays for at least 14k.
Condition: as is to be expected, there are minor losses to the delicate coral. For example, the largest lionesque animal that forms part of the clasp, has lost a small piece of his tail. Most of the other dogs are in much better condition with very minor losses, commensurate with the age of the bracelet.Wear also commensurate with the age of the bracelet. Please see enlarged'photos for details.
