Hoops
Embedded Files
The most widespread throughout the territory of modern Ukraine were coral beads of various shapes and artificial corals that repeated the shape and size of natural coral. And almost every coral necklace had a special metal decoration - a hoop - a metal frame of one or more central beads in the necklace.
To frame the beads, copper, gold, and silver hoop rings were used, ornamented with geometric motifs: broken lines, wavy lines, dots, dashes, diamonds, etc.
Schematic representation of ornaments on hoops from the publication:
