Full original description

Curious bracelet that looks topped with two elongated horse heads. What the ears look like would prove to be also pairs of legs. In that case I would hate to enter four pairs of paas. As you position it takes on different shapes. By size it is a bracelet paw a girl not too old. It has a symbol in the center. It all seems to indicate that this brazalee is desinado at some ritual time. Time skate.
