content: A string of ankle bells, likely from India. The anklet consists of a thick cotton string knotted around 15 identical brass jingle bells. Every bell has a chevron pattern stamped on each of its four leaves. The string is knotted in such a way that the anklet is adjustable and can be tightened once on the body. Anklets like this are traditionally worn in several forms of South Asian dance as a way to accentuate the beats made with the feet.
