| A silver bracelet from Java is formed by a sinuous coiling snake with over-sized eyes staring out at the curious world. Whimsy merges with realism as incised scales on the coil change into scrolling, a flower, then back to scales. The out-stretched head with its bug eyes appears to be searching for a friend rather than a victim. This bracelet can be worn several ways: on the wrist, pushed up toward the elbow or around the upper arm in Cleopatra fashion. We purchased this piece in the mid-1990s in Indonesia where we traveled often prior to getting caught in a street demonstration on a subsequent trip, which cooled our enthusiasm for searching out the country's interesting art. This bracelet is in excellent condition, and can be adjusted to a diameter as large as 3" (8 cm), or to as small as desired. | ||||||||
