Korean bracelet...Can anyone tell me anything about it?

[turtlefoot13]

Hi All,

I have a non dug find that I am trying to find out some info on. I looks had carved to me but I really don't know anything about jewelry. Since it is dated the way that it is, I am guessing that it is a tourist item. If anyone has any info on this piece, please let me know.

The back is blank as best I can tell. I will try to get pics of it tomorrow if anyone wants them.

Thanks,
Doug

I wonder if it's trench art

I know an old fellow who was stationed in Korea at that time. I am sure it was some type of souvenir. Very cool.

You can tell that it was hand made. Probably sold by a street vender. Tony

I have a few of my Uncles items from when he was in Korea. That is why I picked this bracelet up. I thought it might fit well into a little shadowbox of Korea stuff.

Good guess...maybe the plate is from a shell casing...
