Armlet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows the armlet by an unknown artist titled Armlet. The object is a circular band made of dark metal, possibly bronze or iron, with a rough texture and visible signs of wear and tear. The band is thick and chunky, with a flat interior surface and a more raised exterior surface. There are several protrusions around the exterior surface of the band, possibly forming a decorative pattern. The surface of the band appears to have a mottled appearance, with areas of lighter and darker shading. The number 329 is stamped on the bottom of the band. The background of the image is a light gray color, providing a neutral contrast to the darker metal of the armlet.
