Description

One bracelet consisting of 6 joined links.

Links individually labeled for descriptive purposes as follows:

(a), (c), & (e) are alike, very heavy decorated hoops with no terminal ornaments, slightly separated at the ends. The decoration consists of closely spaced, large beading in strong relief. (b) and (d) are also similar to each other: undecorated hoop, circular in section. Each end terminates in the head of a fantastic animal, the pairs of heads confronting. (f) has a hoop of thickened wire, circular in section. There is decoration at intervals on the outside of short, incised latitudinal lines. The ends overlap by 0.05 cm. and each end curls up upon itself to form a loop.

Outside Diameter 9.5 cm
Credit Line Purchased from Hesperia Art, 1967
