Large Snake Arm Cuff

Snake  Cuff for Arm- inspired by ancient Roman/Byzantine style snake jewelry. Made from my new special bronze alloy that looks like 14K gold. Snakes, or serpents, have symbolized something in every culture and every religion on earth. From Ancient Egypt to modern Native American cultures, snakes are revered as beings of power. Since a snake sheds it skin, they have historically been seen as symbols of regeneration, rebirth or transformation. Ancient Celts used the snake as a symbol of secret knowledge. They have been a symbol of fertility (most ancient cultures), of guardianship (Hinduism, Buddhism, ancient Cambodia) and of luck in battle (Norse). The Hopi have Awanyu, the Aztecs and Maya have Quetzalcoatl (two snake Gods) and the Minoans had a snake Goddess. They were carried down through the ages as symbols of wisdom. Asclepius, the god of medicine and healing, carried a staph with a snake coiled around it.
