Silver Snake Bracelet

Open-ended two-part silver bracelet with round profile probably produced by beating a strip of metal into shape; over-lapping terminals in the form of snake heads; small shallow holes drilled just below the neck of the snake on each side, possibly to hold a dowel to keep the two parts of the bracelet together; the bracelet originally comprises two semi-circular parts connected by a hinge (now broken); silver much corroded so few details are visible but snake bodies have angular anatomical details.
