Armreif

3D ModelNoAI

Wide, open cuff bracelet of copper alloy, possibly dating to the Late Bronze Age or the transition to the Early Iron Age. The slightly oval bracelet is 6.1 cm high, measures about 7.7 cm across its wider axis, and weighs 275 g. Its surface is strongly structured by raised horizontal ribs framing zones of diagonal ridges arranged in herringbone or chevron patterns. The ends are broadened and comparatively plain. The pronounced, wire-like relief may indicate casting from a wax model assembled from individual elements. A date around the 10th–8th centuries BC is possible, but remains tentative.
