Bracelet in the shape of an Articulated Snake, Gilded Brass, Late 19th C.

About the Item

This vintage bracelet in gilded brass is shaped like a coiled snake and wraps tightly around the forearm. The bracelet is flexible and holds its form due to its internal elasticity, allowing it to cling securely without a clasp. The surface is composed of a detailed woven pattern that mimics the texture of scales, enhancing the lifelike quality. One end features a sculpted snake head with subtle facial contours and a tapered snout, while the opposite end is smoothly finished to suggest the tail. The piece has a striking, serpentine elegance with an exotic, antique-inspired aesthetic. When worn, it creates a bold, sculptural statement and appears both powerful and ornamental. This bracelet pairs beautifully with flowing fabrics and earthy tones—think kaftans, wide sleeves, or a sleeveless dress—to enhance its exotic, serpent-inspired elegance.
