It’s intricately shaped with detailed design, giving it a lifelike appearance. The head is connected to a ring that forms the link between the head and the “body.” Below the bracelet continues with a smooth gold band that tapers slightly as it wraps around the wrist.

The eyes are accented with rubies, emeralds are set at the center of the ram’s head, enhancing the animal motif with pops of color.
