Description

The bracelet is photographed on a plain grey ground, forming an open loop with a thick, smooth band that bends into a wavy, slightly flattened oval. At each end is a cast animal head with a broad muzzle, large eyes, ears laid back and a ridged collar beneath the neck, and the two heads face each other across the gap. The surface is polished, with some light scratches and small specks on the background.
