These objects constitute a set, executed at the same workshop, indicated by the identical cutting of the emeralds.

The central section of both objects takes the form of rectangular plaque attached to the main body by hinges. Besides the emerald insets, the central section and the main part of the bracelet were once decorated with small round insets, probably of precious stones.
