Bracelet, Hammered Wire

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The bracelet, titled "Hammered Wire," by an unknown artist, is a gold-colored metal bangle. The bracelet has a rounded square shape with a gap at the bottom. It is made of thin, hammered metal wire that forms a smooth, rounded frame. The wire is gold in color and has visible texture from the hammering process. There are two small coils of wire on either side of the gap, which appears to be where the ends of the wire meet. The background of the image is a plain gray surface.
