ملاحظات
Anklets, always worn in pairs, were part of the traditional dress of the nomadic Bedouin throughout the Syrian region in the 19th century. They were often very heavy, made of cast silver, and represented a major part of the wearerâs dowry. The name khulkhal is a generic Arabic name for anklets. This anklet was bought for three shillings and sixpence (the pair) at the International Exhibition, London, in 1872, as an example of traditional Syrian jewellery.
