History and use
A fragment of smoothed blue opaque glass, possibly a section from a bracelet. Glass bangles such as this are known from several cultures and time periods. Jewellery are items of display- communicating gender, style, wealth and status in a highly visible way, and expressing the individual identity of the wearer. Some jewellery can even create sound from the movement of the wearer. When worn together, the sound that bangles make as they brush against each other, announce the presence of a person, even before they are seen. Imagine the sound of this glass bangle as it is worn.
