Ketoh, Stamped, Turquoise Specimen, Vintage, Early 20th Century, 4334

BOLD STYLE FOR ANYONE

Originally worn to protect a warrior's wrist from the snap of a bowstring, the traditional ketoh or bow guard gets handsomely reinvented into a gorgeous piece that can be worn for any occasion. The wide leather cuff is adorned with an intricately ornate stamped silver shield centered by a large turquoise cabochon and bordered with a twisted rope detail. Finish any of your favorite looks with this bold beauty.
