This spectacular chased silver bracelet is a realistic representation of the head of a presumably mithological beast. The surface is partly scaled and partly floral, and the attentive observer here is presented with the eyes (resembled to a tongue of flame), the nose and soon the entire snout of this fantastic creature, completed with sharp teeth and two tiny antlers.
