CHAPTER V
163/189

Others are for wearing on the wrist, like the bracelets of modern ladies, and are made of small beads in gold, lapis lazuli, carnelian, and green felspar.

These are strung on gold wire in a chequer pattern, each square divided diagonally in halves of different colours.

Two gold plates, very lightly engraved with the cartouches of Ahmes I., are connected by means of a gold pin, and form the fastening.

A fine bracelet in the form of two semicircles joined by a hinge (fig.

299), also bears the name of Ahmes I.The make of this jewel reminds us of _cloisonne_ enamels.
