Really stunning double snake cuff.
Such a good looking statement piece. Two snakes coil about the wrist three times, their fat heads cross over the top of the cuff from left to right, and right to left. The have gold tadpole like applied eyes and wide smiles revealing forked tongues.
The bracelet is neatly hinged, the join almost invisible. The clasp closure is in good working order and closes with a satisfying click.
The cuff is made from gilded metal, not solid gold, but on the plus side it is not so daunting to wear! Or buy (although he was still expensive)
