Condition
Good vintage condition consistent with age and wear. The hammered brass disc tops show notable patina, surface oxidation, and light tarnishing — visible particularly in the close-up flat-lay photos. The underside backs show verdigris (green oxidation) typical of aged brass. The chainmail mesh fringe panels appear intact with no visible broken links. Clip-on mechanisms appear functional and intact. No hallmarks or maker's marks visible from photos. Patina is consistent with natural aging and adds character. Not restored.
