A gold hinged cuff bracelet with rectangular insets of colored stones/glass (blue, red, and pale/white) arranged in vertical panels around the band.
The image shows a wide circular hinged bracelet (cuff) with a smooth, gold-toned band. Along the interior circumference are visible rectangular sections/inserts set into the gold framework. Three prominent vertical insets appear: one blue/sky-blue band (right side) and one reddish-brown band (center), with additional pale/white-toned segments on the left and at the lower edge. Two gold hinge/fastener points are visible at the upper right where the cuff would open/close. The outer surface includes textured or abraded areas and decorative gold borders forming vertical compartments around the colored inserts. No readable hieroglyphs or cartouches are visible on the band in this view, and no separate inscriptions in Greek/Coptic/Arabic are apparent.
