Bracelets

These ornaments have usually rounded or flat bodies that can be solid or hollow. There are, also, examples of bracelets with a rounded body and hollow tubular section. The ends are frequently expanded to form solid or concave conical-shaped terminals, outwardly expanded semicircular plain terminals or circular, oval and square sectioned solid plain terminals. In a few cases, the ends are back coiled to form terminals. Decoration, if present, consists of incised geometric patterns.
