Lot 4822
Lot of Two Lovely Bangles. Late Roman or early Islamic, c. 5th to 9th century. Cf. G.A.E. Vol. 11, fig. 264d for second. Widths: 2-3/4"; 2-1/2". The earliest piece is a simple, thin bangle in dark azure blue. Intact with an age etched surface that contains sparkling blue-green-copper-silver and purple iridescence. Said to be from Cyprus. In addition, there is a broad bracelet from late Roman or early Islamic Egypt. In so-called "crumb" glass technique, seed-like pieces of opaque, yellow, red, green, and white are fused to the outer surface of the black bangle. Both intact and without the usual cracks or chips. A good lot.
