A scarab made of lapis lazuli is placed in the centre, the rest of the animal's body is made of gold, executed with precision and realism. The scarab is surrounded by a thin line in gold, lapis lazuli, turquoise and carnelian. The rest of the bracelet has been decorated with quartzite flowers, mouthpieces and rosettes.
