Pair of gold armbands

Pair of gold armbands. Culture: Greek. Dimensions: Overall: 10 7/16in., 0.4lb. (26.5cm, 0.2kg)
Other (height-triton armband): 9 13/16in. (25cm)
Other (height-tritoness armband): 10 7/16in. (26.5cm). Date: ca. 200 B.C..
These imposing serpentine armbands represent two tritons, male and female, each holding a small winged Eros. The hoops behind the tritons' heads were used to attach the armbands to the sleeves of a garment, for otherwise, their weight (each over 6 1/2 ounces) would have caused them to slip down the arms.
