| Description |
When the classical world was in full
flower, this magnificent bracelet
adorned the wrist of some ancient
beauty. Decorated with bold abstract
geometry, its loop terminates in the
stylized head of a ram, which would
originally have confronted its mirror
image. One thinks of the fabled golden
ram whose fleece was the object of
Jason's quest. As with much that
survives from antiquity, this lovely
jewel offers only its sculptural form,
our imagination restores the missing
pieces of its long history.
