Round open form, made of brass. Solidly wrought bracelet, bulging form, decorated with carved and grooved ornaments and knobs, divided into sections by embossed rings, with a button-like ornament positioned in the centre. Signs of corrosion.
A typical feature of some older Dogon bracelets is the central knob on top. The small groups of three smaller knobs and the braided decorative patterns also indicate Dogon origins.
