This finely cast bronze arm adornment displays a beautiful form with a prominent central ridge. Over time, the surface of the bronze has developed a lovely smooth patina.
A similar example of arm adornment with this type of form appears in The World of Bracelets (p. 81) a publication on the Colette Ghysel collection of jewellery.(p. 81).
