Detail of a Pair of Gold Armbands in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, July 2007


Pair of armbands, Hellenistic, ca. 200 B.C.
Greek
Gold
Rogers Fund, 1956 (56.11.5–.6)
These imposing serpentine armbands represent two tritons, male and female, each holding a small winged Eros. The hoops behind the tritons' heads were used to attach the armbands to the sleeves of a garment, for otherwise their weight (each over 6 1/2 ounces) would have caused them to slip down the arms.
