Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

An unfinished brass wrist cuff template for the Three Gap cuff. The flat metal has scalloped edges and three teardrop-shaped holes. There is an additional scallop edge cut into the center of the piece. This central scallop takes up about three quarters of the piece. The teardrop-shaped holes have a star-burst pattern radiating outwards from the holes. There are four straight lines drawn in graphite on either side of the holes. The sunburst motif does not continue on the holes of the verso. The artist's hallmark [Art Smith] has been imprinted into the lower edge of the verso.
