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

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.

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

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