Text Appearing Before Image: at the present day, but on the arm too. But even the Antiqueconsidered this custom, and that of wearing bangles on the ankles,to be a relic of barbaric times. Bracelets are either closed rings orbands (figs. 9 and 11); or they are open on one side (figs. 2, 6, 8,13 and 14); or rolled spirally (figs. 3 and 7); or, finally, the braceletmay be a closed chain with a greater or lesser number of links(figs. 10 and 16). Another division is formed by the twisted example(fig. 5). As the Bracelet is an object of some size, it is, more fre-quently than other ornaments, made of silver rather than of gold; theAntique shows a preference for bronze. Plate 276. The Bracelet. 1.
