Vintage African Life Silver-Tone Four-Panel Bracelet

ayquebella.com
This beautiful and lightweight bracelet resembles jewelry artist, Joe Calafato’s African iconography and his aesthetic appreciation of African expressions of nurturance, protection, and culturally traditional, African female beauty. Calafato designs are an endearing quality of compositions of African life and this mass reproduced bracelet evokes an almost identical replication. The four panels contain two different scenes: the first, of an African mother wearing a traditional headdress, beads, and adornments, carrying her sleeping, infant child on her back, and the second, of two African children sampling the food in the cooking pot. Each scene is encapsulated in oval form on each of the panels that are linked together. The timeless designs of South African Calafato are fashioned remarkably well by the actual unnamed producer of this piece. The bracelet has an enduring sentiment for one with a discerning eye for African beauty and art.
