This magnificent, delicate anklet is a sign of power and wealth worn by high-ranking women. It can also be seen as a talisman or a protective element against evil spirits... It depicts two figures, a man and a woman, bound together on a bronze circle. These two figures are made using traditional lost wax techniques and then patinated by renowned artists. They are then sealed onto the bracelet, which is itself made from twisted metal. This bracelet takes on its full power when presented with a light that highlights the delicacy of its characters.

Retour De Voyage suggests placing it on a shelf or in a display case.
