Descriptio Copper alloy. Measurements: Approximately 8.5 cm in diameter. Bracelet made of copper alloy, decorated with two stylized figures of a lizard and a grasshopper arranged on the circular structure of the piece.

The surface retains a dark patina with greenish and earthy tones, as well as oxidations and irregularities characteristic of the metal alloy and the passage of time.
