Vintage Coat of Arms Panel Link Bracelet Bijoux Basques Oritza Heraldry

Vintage Coat of Arms Panel Link Bracelet Bijoux Basques Oritza Heraldry. This interesting coat of arms Bijoux Basques Oritza Heraldry bracelet has seven different panels showing the unity of seven Basque Country traditional provinces. The middle panel features all of the other six panels and reads at one end `Zazpia' and `Bat' at the other. Research of these words showed that `Zazpiak Bat' is a motto attributed to the Basque explorer Antoine-Thompson d'Abbadie in the 19th century, from the Basque words zazpiak meaning 'the seven' and bat meaning 'one'. Translated this means "the seven are one" and refers to the seven Basque Country traditional provinces.

The middle panel is engraved on back "Bijoux Basques-Oritza-". There are no silver or pewter markings but the bracelet does not attract a magnet. 7/8 inch panels are each joined by two links. Box style clasp closure. Absolutely interesting piece!
