I have huge clunkers like this too! anklets !
and another version too ... I wear them as bracelets actually!
Linda is right: anklets! And not for children. The Omani woman are slightly build. There has been a lot of idea's on this site about the size of anklets and bracelets because a lot of people do not believe wrists or ankles can be so small, but they do exist. You can have a look inside the book Oman Adorned and find woman wearing these anklets.
And Linda, what a beautiful ones you have got!
Yes great photo! I like these shots, wearing actual pieces.. very good! My x husband , got these for me , one of the few times he surprised me , but found these for me in London. they are very large and extremly good silver. The other nice piece I like also and that I got at a local antique show when my parents lived in Florida many years ago. I didn't really even know where it was from , Saudi maybe or one of those dessert areas? I found it much later in Colette's book.
see side view and open and cut out work,, really interesting , there are holes in it also through in front and side. not just engraved.
Thanks for sharing your spectacular photos Linda! Nice pieces!
Linda, this is a beautiful one, lovely work, I only know these from books never saw them for sale.
I only had these examples come to me, no others in all the years. I think in London they see more of these things I have a feeling. thanks , will keep posting as I see things if I can be of help. the more people see the better it is in my opinion.
