Glass bracelet

Deep blue, intact, glass bracelet. Its provenance is unknown and is dated to 10th and 12th century. Flat in its inner side and curved in its outer side, it is decorated with yellow and gold paint. Sets of three vertical lines separate the surface of the bracelet into six rectangular panels with themes depicted alternately: a long-necked bird, probably a swan, with spread wings and three horizontal zigzag lines, two gold and a yellow in the middle.
