Four bronze bracelets (D.90.4.14, D.90.4.16, D.90.4.17, D.90.4.137): these four objects were found grouped together on the pubic bone of the deceased. The absence of bones from the forearms makes it impossible to conclude whether these ornaments were worn symmetrically or asymmetrically. They are strictly identical to each other. They are open bracelets, oval in shape; the section is slightly curved on the outside and flattened on the inside. The ends have a more marked bulge on the outside. They have two types of decoration: a first decoration of longitudinal incisions filled with interlocking chevrons on the body of the bracelet and a second decoration of two deep moldings on the ends. Two bronze anklets : (D.90.4.15 ; D.90.4.36). Location: at each ankle. Characteristics : Strictly identical to the four previous bronze bracelets
