Indonesian Copper Bracelet

A string of battered grey cylinders, each in its own glowing collar.

This copper and leather bracelet is from Bali, Indonesia, and is contemporary. Copper bracelets are worn in many parts of the world, and in some traditions they are associated with health, though such beliefs vary and are not scientifically established. Heavy, smoothly worn grey beads are fitted with rounded bands in a coppery-pink tone, spaced evenly around the loop. Several narrow rings gather beside the closure, and a thin patterned hook crosses behind. The metal is lightly scuffed. It is 2.5 inches long and 2.75 deep.

A bracelet with a clear rhythm and good posture.
