Ca. 100 BC - 100 ADA bronze snake-shaped bracelet with carefully modelled head, incised scale details and tapering tail. Snake jewellery was not limited to Egypt in the Ptolemaic and Roman Periods, and, in fact, was not a traditional Egyptian sort of jewellery before the Ptolemaic Period. Jewellery decorated with snakes, appeared in Western Asia from about the eighth century BC, and spread to Greece in the fifth century BC, and came to Egypt mainly with the Ptolemaic Dynasty. In Greek culture there were certainly healing associations with snakes, but there may have been other associations, too.Size: L:43.1mm / W:70.7mm ; 55.34gProvenance: From the private collection of a South London art professional; previously in a collection formed on the UK/European art market in the 1990s.
