Physical DescriptionBracelet. Transparent pale green and opaque green glasses, with opaque orange, opaque yellow and translucent deep green patches, and opaque white and translucent purple cane; transparent green probably gathered on a metal rod, which was rotated rapidly, causing the glass to assume its present annular form; opaque green applied as trail, perhaps at this stage; transferred from the rod to a tool with a cone-shaped end to cool; decorated with pieces of preformed cane. Bracelet, with semi-circular cross-section. Transparent green band, with outer surface covered with opaque green. Outer surface decorated with six equidistant patches, each with five transverse or chevron-shaped stripes (green, flanked by yellow, flanked by orange) and with spirally twisted white and purple cane applied to thickest part.Provenance
