Africa Cuff Title -- only four fronds??

[Rudel]

Hello,

do anyone know, something about the african cuff title. I have one, it looks good to me, but the left palm has only four palm fronds (see picture). The right one has the regular five fronds. Can it be a flaw? Answers are welcome. Thank you.

Regards

Rudel

The cuffband you show has many halmarks of a fake. Cannot explain the missing leaf except to say, whomever reproduced this cufftitle made a mistake. Even with the palm frond, I think you can tell it is a repro after reading the article.
