ملاحظات
These anklets, or khalkhal ( khul khal ), were made as decorative accessories for an urban Algerian woman. They are made of silver-gilt with applied panels of silver-gilt filigree partly enamelled and are hinged near the centre. The anklets can be opened by means of a chained pin at the front which can be removed. The anklets bear a French silver standard mark suggesting they were made after the French occupation of Algeria, which began in 1830. The design of such anklets varied from city to city. The donor of this pair reported that these were made in El Golea, a town in central Algeria, but were acquired further north, in Ghardaïa.

Fiziksel açıklama
Pair of heavy silver-gilt hinged anklets. Each anklet is made from two unequal parts, hinged together to form a thick band which widens to a heart shape at each end, with a pin fastening where the tips of the hearts meet. The pin is secured to the anklet by a figure-of-eight link chain. The whole outside of each anklet is covered with plaques which are nailed to the base. The plaques are decorated with blue and green filigree enamel and set with flat red pastes in closed settings.
