Bracelet with Rams' Head Terminals
6th-5th century BCE
Description
The terminals of this bracelet are in the shape of rams’ heads. The hoop of the bracelet is circular in section. The heads are highly stylized, and when viewed from above they resemble five-point stars. The animals have backward-curving horns with one spiral and end in points that stick out from the head, and a long thin snout, with no other anatomical details indicated. The undersides are flat except for the horns, which dip down below the lowest levels of the head.
