Handmade Multicolored Kumihimo Bracelet

This item is a handmade kumihimo bracelet, approximately 12.5 inches in length. It is constructed from multiple strands of colorful textile threads, braided together to form a distinctive rope-like pattern. The colors visible in the braid include vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, woven in a seemingly random or variegated sequence, contributing to its 'multicolored' appearance. The braiding technique appears to be a basic round kumihimo without a core, creating a flexible and relatively thin cord. The diameter of the finished braid seems to be uniform throughout its length. At one end, the threads are visible and appear somewhat frayed or unfinished, which is consistent with the artisanal nature of kumihimo where ends are often tied off or left loose before being finished with a clasp or knot. The craftsmanship suggests a folk art or craft project, possibly made from cotton, acrylic, or a similar synthetic fiber due to the vibrant color saturation and apparent texture. There are no visible clasps or closures, indicating it might be designed to be tied, or a clasp may be missing/unattached. The overall condition appears to be good, with no obvious signs of significant wear, damage, or repairs, though the loose end shows minor unraveling. The bracelet likely dates to a contemporary period, given its style and materials, and represents a popular form of handmade jewelry.
