A much more primitive example than in Angela Fishers book but has a rough charm all the same. I wonder how rare these are?
Bangle bracelet or for the ankle? This particular item is not that rare, I think in Tunisia.
Ah, ok thanks Patty, I just cant find any other example on an internet search x
Here's another example from Edith's collection, Cordelia. Hers is also an anklet:

The Victoria and Albert Museum also shows a similar piece:
