Medieval Bronze Modern silver bracelet with 11 authentic...

Exclusive silver jewel with Hispano-Muslim dirhams — Al-Andalus — 12th–15th centuries Singular articulated jewel, entirely made in silver, crafted from a selection of square Hispano-Muslim dirham coins attributed to different historic mints of al-Andalus, including Granada, Seville, and Córdoba. The piece brings together 11 square monetary plates, each with inscriptions in Arabic script, evoking the extraordinary cultural, artistic, and commercial wealth of medieval Muslim Spain. The square dirhams constitute one of the most characteristic manifestations of Andalusian numismatics. Introduced during the Almohad period in the 12th century, these designs continued to be used under later dynasties, including the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada, until the late 15th century. Each element preserves its unique epigraphic decoration, with interesting variations in the strokes, the layout of the legends, and the surface finishes. The different plates are carefully assembled with silver rings, forming a flexible, articulated jewel. Its carabiner clasp, accompanied by an adjustable chain with a spherical terminal, completes a composition of great aesthetic appeal. The combination of silvery, golden tones and darkened surfaces enhances the Arabic characters and gives the set extraordinary personality.
