Very nice, again a pair of fish!
Just wanted to press "Like", but cannot. I don't know what it is, if the line, I am having problems today with my computer... Just want to say, Nice, I like!
The fish seem to be a requirement on these as a talisman! My anklet does not have anything carved on the side of the box facing the ankle, but often the fish is carved on the ankle side of the box (even though only the wearer will see it).
I ment the sides of the anklet itself.
Edith, are they still worn by local people?
Yes! They are mostly worn during weddings.
