Description

Very rare arm jewellery made of yellow cast metal. Three vertical decorations reminiscent of woven textile bands are attached, two of which have distinctive protruding flat cones welded onto them. The third has a ram's head in the form of a miniature mask attached to it.

An extremely deep patina suggests that it was excavated. There are no longer any signs of wear. The entire object was cleaned by Peter Herrmann without removing the patina of age.

This valuable piece of jewellery is very well preserved and shows no damage.
