From the Getty Museum record

Composed of a thin strip of silver, rounded on its outer surfaces and flat on the inner and terminating in serpents' heads. Three small ridged metal bands have been bent at even intervals around each end of the bracelet. The snake heads are rather crudely rendered. A squarish hole is pierces in each snake head and there are incised eyes on either edge of the terminals, and scales created by U-shaped gouges cover the surface up to the third metal band.

The authoritative record is held by Getty Museum. LinkedCulture surfaces this object and its connections; it does not alter institutional metadata.
