One of a Pair of Overlapping Undecorated Anklets by Unknown. The anklet is made of dark-colored metal with a smooth surface. It is circular and has a gap, with one end overlapping the other. The overlapping end is cylindrical in shape. The anklet appears to be made of a single piece of metal that has been shaped into a circle. The metal has a dark gray or bronze color with some lighter spots. The background is a plain light gray surface.
