Description

This bracelet is of approximately round basic shape and has a diameter of 15 mm. On the display side, two pairs of circular eye ornaments face each other. The center consists of a deep square perforation, enclosed by two roughly circular bands of small square punches. The pairs of circular eyes are interrupted by two impressed grooves between which are transversely running fine hallmark lines. The fine hallmarks run continuously across a gap that is barely visible on the outside of the hoop but is visible on the inside. It appears as if a solid bar has been bent over to form the bracelet.

The area of the circular eye ornaments is bordered by stroke bundles of 14 striations each. Each of the lines is followed by an undecorated area interrupted by a simple pair of circular eyelets. Here, two circles of small square punches again close a central large punch. On the reverse side, a net-like hallmark is incorporated, which is repeated at small intervals on both sides.
