Armlet of bazuband

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Armlet of bazuband by is a long, narrow, cylindrical piece of jewelry. It has a loop at the top, made of a tan-colored material that resembles woven fibers or thin metal wire. The main body of the armlet is covered in green enamel with a textured pattern. There are 10 large, oval-shaped stones set into gold-colored metal settings along the length of the armlet. The stones are different colors, including orange, white, blue, red, and green. The armlet tapers to a point at the bottom, where there is a small ball made of the same green enamel material. The background of the image is light gray.
