This is a gorgeous light colored copper bracelet by BELL. It pictures images of a dog, man, Aztec symbol, a tree and crossed arrows. The bracelet is 1 inch high and 5 inches of copper around the bend. And of course, it will bend to fit just about any size wrist, or anything else you might want to put it on. It's hallmarked with a Bell symbol and the words COPPER and BELL above and below the symbol, respectively. Since I can't figure out what all the pictures mean, I decided to make up a story. Follow along with the pictures so the story makes sense.

This is a story about a man and his dog. The man has the dog branded (see the marks on the side of the dog). This angered the dog immensely, so he tore the man's clothes off in a fit of rage. Noting that there might soon be fresh meat, an eagle swooped down. Finding the man alive and well, the eagle decided to take away all of the man's tattered clothes. Now almost naked, the man, embarrassed, hid behind a tree.

Eventually, a hunter passed by and noticed the man hiding behind the tree. The hunter thought that the man was some sort of pervert, exposing himself to a dog, but the dog was able to convince him otherwise and gain the hunter's trust.

As a gesture of good will, the hunter gave the man two arrows. He told the man, "Shoot an arrow into the air and follow it to its landing place. Then close your eyes and shoot the other arrow as far as you can. When you find the second arrow, you will find peace, love, happiness and some clothes."

So the man shot the first arrow, which, of course, the dog took off after and found quickly. When the man caught up with the dog, the dog was hiding behind a tree and jumped out and scared the man. This caused a huge adrenaline rush in the man who quickly placed the second arrow in the bow and off it went, much further than the first one. Oh, and remembering the words of the hunter, he did close his eyes. The dog once again took off after the arrow. The man ran after the dog as fast as he could, but of course the dog was faster.

The man, panting and scraped from running through the forest with no clothes, came upon the dog who had found the arrow impaled on some clothes hanging out to dry. A house was nearby, and a young lass came out to see what all the ruckus was about. Even though the man was sweating, cut and tired, it was love at first sight. She wrapped him in some clothes from the line and took him and the dog inside.

The man and young lass fell madly in love, but never married, because they didn't need an official piece of paper to tell them that they were committed to each other.

The dog was eventually kicked out of the house for peeing on the rug. He spent hot lazy afternoons in the shade of a tree chewing on the arrow.

The eagle still visits the dog and they have a good laugh about the naked man.
