Indian Anklets

Pictures below are two pairs of heavy bronze Indian anklets from my collection. It is believed to have been used by the Tamil community during 1920s-1930s. They are hollow, decorated with geometric patterns and with narrow elliptical shape, bending upward at each end. With the rattle of loose metal rolling inside the hollow space, soft sounds will be produced when worn.
