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.

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.
