SHAKUDO BRACELET AND BARRETTE PIN, JAPAN, EARLY 20th CENTURY in engraved and nielloed gilt metal with silver inlays in the Shakudo technique, the bracelet with hexagonal links, the brooch in the form of a barrette.

The "nuome-zogan" damascene technique consists in hammering fine threads of gold, silver or copper into notches on an iron, steel or copper object to create a decoration. Here, the silver inlay is decorated with Asian-inspired motifs. The backs of the hexagonal links feature various motifs: bamboo, seascapes, flowers or water lilies, mountains, swallows in flight over reeds, ships, butterflies, a mountain village and the character "福", a symbol of luck and happiness, visible on the last link and behind the brooch.
