by Bronze Age (2000-600 BC); h:12.45 w:10.40 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: Europe. As the spiral mimics forms found in nature - specifically in nautilus shells - it is the basis for logarithmic measures of progression in measurement and growth, which in turn help establish the Fibonacci sequence. Through this sequence we can analyze the phenomenon of spiral designs, specifically in nautilus shells, where the radius of each new chamber grows at a rate determined by a specific proportion to the previous one.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Turned Armilla, a bronze arm band from Hungary dating back to around 1500 BC. The intricate design and craftsmanship of this ancient artifact are truly remarkable. The arm band features a mesmerizing spiral pattern that closely resembles the natural form of nautilus shells. This spiral motif holds great significance as it serves as the basis for logarithmic measures of progression in measurement and growth, ultimately contributing to the establishment of the Fibonacci sequence. Through this sequence, we gain insight into the phenomenon of spiral designs found in nature, particularly in nautilus shells. Each new chamber within these shells grows at a rate determined by a specific proportion to its previous one. Displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this Turned Armilla offers us a glimpse into Europe's Bronze Age era. It not only represents an exquisite example of metalwork but also highlights its historical importance as a military decoration. Acquired through funds provided by J. H. Wade, this extraordinary piece is now part of public domain art history. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire awe and admiration among visitors who appreciate both its aesthetic appeal and scientific significance.
