Physical DescriptionOpaque yellow glass, with opaque orange, opaque yellow and opaque green patches, and opaque yellow and opaque green 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 canes. Bracelet, with evenly pointed cross-section. Outer surface decorated with six equidistant patches, each with five transverse stripes (narrow green, flanked by wider yellow, flanked by orange) and with spirally twisted yellow and green cane applied to point.
