Keep in mind the bright shiny copper color one is just a modern interpretation of what it may have looked like when it was complete, and what was found was just the small fragment next to it.

The article just neglects to mention this directly.

The model seems to make a lot of assumptions based on such a small fragment.

It's a "highly detailed reconstruction" (bottom of TFA). Agreed that TFA is light on details and annoyingly disables text selection, which is something I haven't been annoyed by since 2007.

Not only does it manually disable text selection, it also disables the right click menu and most ways of opening the dev tools... for some reason... (you can still reach dev tools using the top right menu on chrome though)

Using "Find" in my browser says those words are on the page somewhere but I cannot find them anywhere.

Weird. It's the last sentence in TFA.

I think it actually slipped under the ad. Using a browser with Adblock I see it.

How do you get that over your hand, and simultaneously have it tight enough to hold the little flap closed?

Personal items of dead people always make me emotional.. do you know what I mean? Even ~2000 years after the fact.. This person's life ended and all that he was and thought and felt is now gone.. so we do not know much, except that this item was important to him.

You might enjoy this then:

  Davenports and kettle drums
  And swallowtail coats
  Tablecloths and patent leather shoes
  Bathing suits and bowling balls
  And clarinets and rings
  And all this radio really needs is a fuse

  A tinker, a tailor, a soldier's things
  His rifle, his boots full of rocks
  And this one is for bravery and this one is for  me 
  And everything's a dollar in this box

  Cuff links and hubcaps
  Trophies and paperbacks
  It's good transportation
  But the brakes aren't so hot
  Neckties and boxing gloves
  This jackknife is rusted
  You can pound that dent out on the hood

  A tinker or tailor, a soldier's things
  His rifle, his boots full of rocks
  Oh, and this one is for bravery, oh, and this one is for me
  And everything's a dollar in this box

agree. its quite an intimately human thing

Better photos available e.g. at https://www.ceskenoviny.cz/zpravy/2688552

The single photo is remarkably elegant - a spare, almost modernist design.

Pretty slick and functional given the materials of the time. I wonder if it could be made to work today. I think adapting it to cards and cash would make it an awkward package, but maybe if you lay them out along the arm it could work.

Bronze is a VERY nice material. It's a shame it's actually too expensive to see much use in our modern consumerist lives.

It's also easy to steal

Damn, I’ve read “pulse” and was both very confused and very excited!

Seems jingley

Wrap the silver in cloth. Can't open without removing from arm so within limits stops petty theft.
