Physical Description5 Bracelet Fragments. Translucent light green, opaque deep blue, translucent yellowish-green, translucent deep green with red streaks, opaque green glasses; tooled, applied decoration. A: Fragment of circular shaped bracelet with D-shaped cross section, decorated on outer surface with 3 applied oval eyes; between each pair of eyes two small reddish-orange blobs; perimeter of eyes embellished with row of small blobs. B: Fragment of circular bracelet with D-shaped cross-section; decorated on outer surface with row of 3 inlaid eyes with translucent deep blue centers surrounded by opaque white; at center of each eye, small applied white blob; between each pair of eyes two small blobs. C: Decorated with opaque orange trail wound one or more times around outer surface; above this row of 4 eyes, each consisting of section of cane with orange center surrounded first by ring of white then broad ring of deep blue with opaque white radial stripes; between each pair of eyes, three small blobs. D: Circular bracelet with D-shaped cross-section; decorated with canes of opaque yellow and opaque dull red and of opaque white, black and translucent turquoise glass, marvered into outer surface; effect is too irregular and fragment too small to permit confident identification on arrangement of canes.
