Please tell me more about this piece! An absolutely massive anklet, cast in dark aluminum and with copper/brass alloy plates. Hinge and pin are industrial. In the Splendor of Ethnic Jewelry, this anklet is cited as Tuareg. In Africa Adorned, Angela Fisher has it outside of the Tuareg section in the "Savannah" section. Any more information on who made and wore this, at what time?Dimensions:850 grams!
