Vintage Enamel Cloisonné Snake Wrap Bracelet

This is a vintage multi-coil wrap bracelet designed in the form of a stylized serpent. The piece features a flexible, spring-like metal core that allows the snake's body to spiral three times around the wearer's wrist. The craftsmanship utilizes a cloisonné enameling technique, where individual cells are filled with pigmented glass paste. The serpent's 'scales' are rendered in a repeating pattern of white and amber-orange circular dots against a dark, possibly oxidized silver-tone or brass metal base. The head of the snake is highly detailed, showcasing a geometric pattern of green, white, and reddish-brown enamel, common in mid-20th-century costume jewelry styles reminiscent of Egyptian Revival or Art Deco influences. The underside of the head appears to have a metallic finish with some visible oxidation or patina, suggesting it may be silver-plated or a base metal alloy. There are minor signs of wear consistent with age, specifically slight thinning of the enamel in high-friction areas and a gentle darkening of the metal. No visible maker's marks are discernible from the angle, but the quality of the hinge-less, tension-based construction suggests a well-made vintage accessory likely dating from the 1960s to the 1980s.
