Physical DescriptionTransparent pale green and opaque green glasses, with opaque red, opaque yellow and opaque deep green patches, and opaque white and translucent purple cane; 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 and one spirally twisted cane. Bracelet, with evenly pointed cross-section. Transparent pale green band covered with opaque green band decorated with six unevenly spaced patches, each with five chevron-shaped stripes (green, flanked by yellow, flanked by red) and with spirally twisted white and purple cane applied to point.
