Forged Celtic Wrist Armor (bracelet)

Description

I have started to volunteer at a local historical blacksmith shop and the blacksmith had me make my own Celtic bracelet. I used mild 1/4 steel bar and  folded and heat welded both ends and tapered to form points at each end then twisted the steel and hammered flat and whats cool is the lightning bolt shape came out in the twisted steel. Hammered out the curls on the ends i then bent the ends to match my wrist curve. They called this armor because you wore the band with the opening on top of your wrist so the band could protect the vein in the bottom of your wrist from knife or sword attack it was a really cool project and looks awesome on my wrist.
