This reddish-brown translucent glass bracelet was made in several passes. After forming the main body, the craftsman cut several longitudinal grooves all around the bracelet. He may have filled some or all of these grooves with light green opaque glass. Then, he applied and fused five yellow-green bands transversally and, finally, a thick trail of opaque emerald green. Eastern Mediterranean, Ottoman Period. Triangular cross section. Some iridescence, and some white weathering crust.
