Ketoh, Turquoise, Outstanding Early Piece, Vintage ‘25, 4062

JAW DROPPING STYLE FOR THE WESTERN FASHIONISTA

The ketoh has evolved over the years from being a piece of protection to a piece of jewelry. This is a wonderful, vintage, supple brown leather cuff or "bow guard", with a gorgeous cast sterling silver plate featuring a simple crossed design. Various shapes of light green turquoise stones are placed throughout and accented with twisted wire and drops. The ketoh uses tie strings on the back to keep it in place. Add this piece to your collection so it can be enjoyed by the next generation.
