Offered here is an official MMA (Metropolitan Museum of Art) solid bronze bracelet, a museum reproduction inspired by ancient Luristan animal-terminal designs.

This piece is solid cast bronze, with a dark, aged patina and substantial weight for its size (38g). The open cuff features stylized animal terminals facing one another, closely modeled after Iron Age designs from ancient Iran, as seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s collection.

One of the small circular rings behind an animal terminal appears open or incomplete; this may be part of the original casting or design rather than later damage. (Last photo)
