Anklet, One of a Pair
Not on view
These anklets are made up of many small articulated balls which would jingle and move alongside the wearer. Such jewels would have been worn in the areas of Rajasthan, Malwa, and Madhya Pradesh as part of a suite of jewelry.
This ornament was formerly in the collection of American artist and designer Lockwood de Forest (1850–1932) who purchased many items while traveling in India between 1879–1881. He collected many different examples of jewelry from India, including several of the same type. Today, his assemblage in the Met serves as an in-depth study collection of Indian jewelry from the late nineteenth century.
