Copper open bracelets, which show several differences between them in terms of decoration and type. The first bracelet is banded and consists of a lamina, which is decorated with pressed circles and moments that form various decorative themes. The second is also banded, however in the center the lamina widens to form a small oval jewel bearing incised spiral decoration. The next ones are also open, and have flattened ends and also have spiral decoration.
