• Lot Description
  Fashioned in the form of a coiled serpent, a symbol of protection, eternity, and divine power, the bracelet exhibits finely detailed scales along its sinuous body, culminating in a sculpted head with defined facial features. The warm gilded surface, achieved through the ormolu technique, enhances its luxurious appeal, reflecting the grandeur of Hellenistic adornment. Such arm jewelry was not only a fashionable statement but also carried symbolic and possibly apotropaic significance, worn by aristocrats and elite members of society.

  Condition

  Very good antique condition, some surface wear.
