Bangle with Flanges

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a white or off-white colored bracelet with flanges. A circular band forms the bracelet. It is made from a smooth, slightly shiny material that resembles stone or bone. It has four protruding sections equally spaced around its circumference. These sections are roughly shaped like trapezoids. Each protrusion appears to have been polished to a smoother texture than the rest of the bracelet. The bracelet has a rough texture on the outer circumference and smooth on the inside. The bracelet is displayed on a small metal stand. The background of the image features a gray wall and surface. The artist of the bracelet is unknown. The title of the bracelet is "Bangle with Flanges".
