Bracelet

George W. Shiebler & Co.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The silver bracelet has a central circular panel with a raised relief on it. The relief depicts a man with curly hair and a beard. He wears a laurel wreath and faces right. His left arm extends across his chest. The panel's top features ten small raised circles. A decorative edge, consisting of short radiating lines and 27 small raised circles, surrounds the panel. A hinged section connects each end to the bracelet. Two rectangular panels, each bearing a relief portrait of a woman, one on each side, are on either side of the central panel. The background transitions from dark gray to light gray.
