This bracelet is a good example of an Early Celtic La Tene(PLASTIC) Style ornament of 5th-3rd cent B.C. albeit fabricated in stainless steel. I get great inspiration in the study of ancient metal artifacts from all over the world, but especially Celtic (my heritage). In the Early La Tene Period one can see inspiration for many organic styles as well as the progenitors of Art Nouveau. The Celtic metal artisans who,incidently were accorded a status equal to the Druids and the warrior class, were the first in the architectural record to twist square stock by forging. I only know this because I became very attracted to this artifice from the first time I saw it and researched its genesis. I utilize this technique in many of my pieces,from my flatware, chopsticks, this bracelet, to table legs and knife handles.
