Catalogue Description: A large cuff formed from a single sheet of metal with rounded corners that is cut nearly in half and bent in opposite directions. Three silver wires with flattened ends are soldered to the back of each section of the cuff and bent in opposite directions to pierce the top spine. Patination is used on the solid sections of the cuff to define the overlapping wires.
