Physical DescriptionTranslucent grayish white glass, with two canes: opaque orange, opaque yellow and opaque green, and opaque white and translucent purple; 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 preformed canes. Bracelet, with evenly pointed cross-section. Outer surface decorated at point with two superimposed canes: lower cane has five longitudinal stripes (green, flanked by yellow, flanked by orange) and is applied in zigzag pattern; upper cane is white and purple, spirally twisted, and runs almost continuously around point.
