Vintage 1920's Damascene Shakudo Japanese gold and silver chain bracelet.

This unusual bracelet depicts Japanese scenes in 24ct gold and sterling silver using a technique called 'Damascening'.

This type of jewellery is also known as Shakudo.We know the piece has 24ct gold inlay because it is indicated in the design marked '24K'.
