For Peter and Lynn, Here the anklet I have mentioned earlier . I think it is a same type of anklet which you showed as very heavy and my question was if they also are produced in a lighter shape. This is the one I had in mind. It is good silver but light in weight, unfortunately I do have only one. It was bought in Ethiopia(Harrar) who do have a lot of connection with Yemen. So what do you think? Gr. Ingrid.
Dear Ingrid; Many thanks for posting this beauty. No, it is not the same - it is a different kind. I have a pair of the same. They are much lighter and I believe that they originate somewhere from the border area in Hadramaut. I have seen the same design of anklet (without bells though) also in Oman.
With kind regards. Peter
Dear Ingrid; Oh, I have just discovered also these when browsing my inventory! Same bells and decorations but again a different style. I have the same snake-style anklets also without any bells... With kind regards. Peter
Thank you Peter, exciting to see them as a set. and that they are from the southern part of Yemen, and of my favorit jewellery area Oman.
Thank you for paying attention Peter. Gr. Ingrid.
It was nice meeting you Akkie. Hope to see you again but more relaxed.
Gr. Ingrid.
Very beautiful. I like flat dangles very much!
Thank you Betty, just a pitty that there is only on. O Never had the second one. Gr. Ingrid.
Wow! This is lovely. It is quite the mashup of Yemeni, Omani, and even Ethiopian styles. I think this is an upper arm bracelet, which would explain the lighter weight. Most of the time I have seen the rigid, not-opening forms, and the snake forms, described as upper arm bracelets, to be worn above the elbow.
