Created circa 1870, this 22K gold bracelet belongs to the archaeological revival style of jewelry. It is designed as spiraling gold wirework links after prehistoric bronze models joined by interlocking meander motif loops, centering a high relief medallion depicting a winged Medusa with double serpent heads, encircled by her floating locks, within a wirework frame, and completed by an integral double hook clasp. Handmade using ancient techniques, this fascinating work unites history, archaeological discovery, and creativity in an original, wearable bracelet by a skilled goldsmith.
