Sterling silver bracelet origin? What kind of bird?

[koolaidsmile]

I have a solid sterling silver bracelet and I'm trying to figure out where it could of possibly originated from and what kind of bird is on it? It's def one of the most ornately detailed bracelets I have ever seen! Just gorgeous!! There are a bunch of different marks on it but I just can not read any of them. None of them are clear enough!! Thank you so much for everyone's help :-)

Peacock.....India maybe?

It does have a Mid-East look to it... I dated a belly-dancer from Turkey for a few years, she had very similar
pieces.

I thought it might be a peacock too but it doesn't have the feathers like a peacock?

a lot of this type of silver work is coming out of refuge camps in southeast asia...
only the male birds have the impressive feathers.

The reason I thought peacock is the two birds on the clasp end have tufts on their heads.

It's either a peacock or that silly bird from "If I ran the Zoo" by Dr. Suess.

They remind me of the birds the Pennsylvania Dutch use in Fraktur: fraktur birds - Google Search
But the rest of the piece doesn't match with that, so I wonder if the theme was borrowed from them?

I was looking up peacocks from India and I found that the peacock is one of India's prized birds. So I am def thinking India. I will get some pics up ASAP of the markings the best I can. There seems to be it looks like anyway about 5 different signatures/people's names on it. I'm very curious why

Quail also have a similar look.

some type of crane?==looks maybe india or asia-(thai) by general nature of design

 

[Mackaydon]

Maybe the birds are Himalayan Monal pheasants.
