Horn Bangle, United States

A wide honey-yellow cuff with dark streaks, cut open for the wrist.

This horn bangle is from the United States, and is contemporary. Bangles cut or turned from natural materials such as horn, bone and wood show the grain and color variation of the source, so each tends to differ slightly in tone. A broad, gently flared cuff in translucent honey-yellow with smoky brown grain running in long streaks. The open gap shows dark tips at both ends, and the finish is soft and satiny with a few faint scratches. It is 2.5 inches long, 2 deep and 2 high.

Wide, warm, and smooth enough to forgive its scratches.
