Gerd Rothman "four finger bangle" 1995 is round circular shape which has a 4 fingers impression on the outside. It appears to be the size of a bracelet and the size of the finger impression is an actual size fingerprints. The colour of the entire object is gold and its made out of pure gold. Techniques Rothman used were; waxing, casting, hammering into a circle, soldering and polishing.
The content and meaning of this work is that the fingerprints is kind of form of Identification or proof of ownership. The shape of the object kinda looks like a knuckle busters and if viewed from a birds eye view, it looks like an animal footprint. The meaning of the bangle is to show ideas and creativity that could be put into Jewellery with finger printing on gold which is precious and expensive.
