Description

Grey and black stoneware bangles with a metallic sheen reflect advanced ceramic technology. These clay bangles were fired at high temperatures, changing it into a stone-like finish. Bangles were also made of other materials such as gold, copper, faience and shell. Several shell pieces cut in different shapes have found which were perhaps used for inlay work.
