Bangle with Raised Decoration

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Circular metal object with raised decoration on the outside edge, made of gray metal with a greenish tint, possibly bronze or copper, with a smooth inner surface and a rough outer surface. The raised decoration consists of small, rounded bumps spaced at regular intervals around the entire circumference. Two larger, more prominent bumps are on opposite sides. The object has a worn, aged appearance with visible signs of wear and tear. The background is a plain off-white surface. Bangle with Raised Decoration by Unknown.
