Ketoh, Stamped, Turquoise, Vintage, 3797

A stunning collector’s ketoh!

Originally worn to protect a warrior's wrist from the snap of a bowstring, the traditional ketoh or bow guard gets handsomely reinvented. The wide, brown leather cuff is adorned with an intricately ornate, stamped silver shield centered by a turquoise cabochon and is embellished with repoussé accents. Along either side of the shield are three matching silver conchos. It truly is a vintage work of art.
