Omani Anklets, rear

Posted by Lynn Ardent on January 27, 2015 at 6:25am

A pair of silver anklets with elaborate floral engraving. They close with pins that are decorated with buds and a charm in the shape of an Ottoman fob. Filled with tiny pebbles to make noise. These resemble Linda Pastorino's massive cuff, but they are smaller and the floral design is deep engraving, not cut-out work. I believe these are Omani.With many thanks to Eileen Massard who is selling her collection of Omani and Saudi jewelry. She collected these in Riyadh women's souk in the 1970s.Dimensions:193 grams together11cm wide by 10cm tal
