Descripción

Fighting bracelets consisting of a single, continuous disk-shaped blade with a gap and a hole in the middle to allow them to be slipped onto the wrist, with thin sheaths of hide covering both the inner and sharpened outer edges; may also serve as cutting tools, and in some cases as ornament or signs of identity.
