Two gold bangles with animal-head terminals, from Vouni — Photograph: Swedish Cyprus Expedition, 1927–31. Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm, C08830a. Public domain (CC0).

Description

Two heavy round-section bangles lie on a plain grey backdrop, one partly overlapping the other to form a looped shape. Each of the four ends is cast as an animal head with a rounded snout, a rounded ear and a ribbed collar, and the heads face each other in pairs. Strong highlights run along the curved bodies, showing the smooth surface of the metal.
