Bracelet
Armbands of this kind were mainly worn by men. They are both status symbols and jewellery. The effect can be enhanced by the insertion of decorated bone daggers, sticks or feathers. The two tips decorated with Nassa snail shells are pointing upwards. Women would also wear these armbands but only ever in exceptional circumstances.
