These bracelets appear to be a smaller imitation of a type of bracelet found in Oplontis in the suburbs of Pompeii, which has a small scene of Venus and Cupid in relief on the flattened part of the exterior (reproduced in P. Roberts (ed.), Life and Death in Pompeii and Herculaneum, London, 2013, p. 292, fig. 383).
