Marks on silver bracelets

Hi there can anyone shed any light on the hallmarks / Maker's Mark that are on two solid silver bracelets that I acquired when Singapore was reclaiming grave sites in the 50s-70s (I was born and raised in Singapore)

 

A small shop in Holland Village had a box of blackened, tarnish encrusted unrecognisable bracelets. 

 

They weren't sold on the weight of the silver and only then did the item go to have the tarnish removed and the item revealed! 

 

 

Any information about the age the origins and the designs on the bracelets would be great.

 

I know one bracelet has 4 panels for the 4 seasons and engraved on each is the plant associated with the season like Bamboo and winter (I think)

 

Thanks so much Fiona

I really tried to get the photos to upload but it kept crashing. I'm suffering from lack of a computer - I've been an IT trainer for 20 years and I can't stand living without the latest fastest most intuitive laptop...

There that's a bit better. I read WIKIPEDIA entries about the history of Singaporean land reclamation and the historical graves that were disturbed - I think these must have been in very very old graves as they were extremely tarnished and I mean unrecognisable as silver bracelets!
