Description from the seller
Hellenistic Greek Bronze Bracelet – 4th to 1st Century BC
An elegant Hellenistic Greek bronze bracelet dating from the 4th to the 1st Century BC, formed from a substantial open-ended band with gently tapering terminals.

The bracelet displays a beautiful archaeological surface with areas of deep green patination contrasting against the warm bronze, highlighting both its age and authenticity. Its generous proportions and solid construction suggest it was intended as a prestigious personal ornament, while the restrained yet refined decoration reflects the sophisticated metalworking traditions that flourished throughout the eastern Mediterranean during the Hellenistic period.
