Technical Observations: The brown and black patina is quite thin. The bracelet is a solid cast incomplete ring with bands of decorations crudely inscribed on the terminals. Approximately every third band is textured with small striations. More finely incised chevron decorations extend out from the bands. The terminal surfaces are flat and not very finished. The bracelet must have been cast into this form with its decorations, because hammering it into shape from a rod would have caused loss of detail. Some of the decorations are discontinued on the inner surface, probably due to wear.
