Physical DescriptionBlack glass, with opaque white, opaque green and opaque yellow patches; probably gathered on a metal rod, which was rotated rapidly, causing the glass to assume its present annular form; transferred from the rod to a tool with a cone-shaped end to cool; decorated with pieces of preformed cane. Bracelet, with flattened semicircular cross-section. Outer surface decorated with five equidistant, rather irregular patches, each with three transverse stripes: wide green, flanked by narrow white and yellow.
