Physical DescriptionOpaque brown, with opaque yellow, opaque green and opaque deep blue cane, and opaque white, opaque deep blue, opaque light blue and opaque brown blobs; brown band probably gathered on a metal rod, which was rotated rapidly, causing the glass to assume its present annular form; at some stage covered with yellow, green and blue spirally twisted (?) cane; transferred from the rod to a tool with a cone-shaped end to cool; decorated with blobs of molten glass. Bracelet, approximately circular with semicircular cross-section. Outer surface decorated with groups of blobs, each consisting of oval blue blob on larger oval white blob on larger oval brown blob, surrounded by band of small blobs; on surviving part, these bands are monochrome, with light blue bands alternating with opaque white.
