Author Description

Excerpt from Ancient Egypt, Vol. 1: 1920 1923 There are three pairs of earrings, all of which have long dangles of beads, a style probably coming from the North with the barbaric invasions. Two pairs of bracelets have elaborately pierced Openwork discs. These are ingenious in design, reminding us of the marble-work screens of San Clemente, or the rather later ones of Saint Mark 's. All of this style seems to be the result of the northern introduction of wicker - work screens, which belonged to nomadic life. Another pair of bracelets, or rather armlets, are made of hollow hexagonal tube, notched to imitate banding, and with two imitations of aurei of Honorius at the fastening. A single bracelet is of twisted wire pattern, with a fulsome bezel of thirteen set stones. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
