Copper and brass diamond design cuff by Winifred Mason Chenet, ca. 1945

This bracelet was made around 1945, the same year Winifred Mason Chenet spent five months in Haiti studying the islands art and culture. Chenet had been awarded a Rosenwald Fellowship grant, " to gather folk material and basic art patterns used by West Indians and to express these feelings in jewelry." The design of this bracelet, with the thin strands of copper wrapped around copper pegs in a criss-crossign diamond pattern, may have been inspired by the peg drums Chenet saw in Haiti
