Description:
Hammered gold cuff. On its central part, next to the edge, it has an embossed image (3.8cm) of a supernatural being in the form of an anthropomorphic bat. The cuff has two pairs of opposing perforations at its upper and lower ends to allow it to be tied. Conte Metallurgical Group.
The figure walks to its right but turns its torso, from whose back emerge two triangular wings, and its head towards the front. The arms are open and in each hand a cane is grasped. The head, with a flattened skull, has a trapezoidal face with a straight forehead, large round eyes within deep sockets, a wide nose, and pointed ears. The mouth is indistinguishable due to the current state of the piece. A belt hangs on the right side of its body. There are two holes on each side of the left arm of the figure along which a crack can be observed. This piece is the counterpart to cuff AU12016, where a similar figure walks in the opposite direction.
