One in a pair of celluloid (or possibly dyed tortoiseshell) black bracelets, each with an applied classical profile bust of an androgynous individual (possibly Dionysus) with grapes and grape leaves in their hair. Each bracelet is a flexible band with open ends that overlap for adjustability. The outside edges are deeply scalloped.
