The stones display a higher quality than we normally see and that does attest to the quality of it being an old bracelet. The coral is dark red as true Italian Mediterranean coral is and yet again showing a richer stone choi...

There is a large slash in the glaze where another bowl had been stacked inside, and there are much losses to the surface glazing typical of excavated works.
