137/283 ] [Illustration: PLATE 114] The bracelets of the king, like his armlets, were sometimes mere bars of metal, quite plain and without ornament. More often, however, they were ribbed and adorned with a large rosette at the centre. Sometimes, instead of one simple rosette, we see three double rosettes, between which project small points, shaped like the head of a spear. In no case can we see how the bracelets were fastened; perhaps they were elastic, and were slipped over the hand. |
