Wristlets or Anklets for Children

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two metal bracelets, Wristlets or Anklets for Children by an unknown artist. They are made of a dark-colored metal and have a flat, wide band that is slightly rounded on the edges. The bands are adorned with small, spherical bells attached to the band by small metal loops. There are 7 bells on one bracelet and 8 bells on the other, each one hanging from a loop. The background of the image is a gradient of dark gray to black. The bracelets are positioned side by side, with the one on the left slightly closer to the viewer than the one on the right. The overall appearance of the bracelets suggests that they are traditional or cultural jewelry.
