Product description
The snake bracelet is a replica of an example from the first half of the 1st century BC, discovered in the Roman city of Herculaneum.
The snake was a common motif in Roman art and jewellery. It was believed to protect the prosperity of the household.
In ancient Greek culture and the Nordic Bronze Age, the snake symbolised healing. The snake worship seen in Roman culture may have originated in Macedonia, where the snake was considered a symbol of fertility. For this reason, women gladly wore jewellery in the shape of a snake.
