Bracelet with Two Facing Dragonflies

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Bracelet with Two Facing Dragonflies by Unspecified Artist. The bracelet is made of a weathered green metal, possibly bronze. It is a wide cuff with a rounded interior and exterior. The exterior has horizontal lines running around its circumference. There is a gap in the middle of the cuff. Two dragonfly-like figures protrude from the bottom center of the cuff. The dragonflies have bodies that curve upwards and outwards, and their tails bend down and under the cuff. The dragonflies' heads face each other. The background is a plain light gray color.
