Source Description
This bracelet is part of a set of jewelry including a bracelet and a necklace of similar design (1986.181). Torques in antiquity were often paired with matching bracelets, though our set only has one. While in the Thracian and Scythian cultures these torque sets represented elite status, in Greek culture they came to represent non-Greek “barbarians” and were used as stereotypical symbols of non-Greeks.
