WOW, this is a great anklet! It has some design elements from Oman and Yemen... but then, many designs there are originating in the Afghanistan/Balujistan region. No doubt - a rare piece! Congratulations. Peter

Thank you very much Peter. You are right. I think that the may different with Yemen one is that they usually lack the floral decoration. Otherwise they are quite similar.
