Anklet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Anklet by Kolawole Oshinowo. A circular, metal anklet. The anklet is made of a dark-colored metal, possibly bronze or brass. It has a smooth, rounded surface with intricate etchings around the exterior. The etchings are small and appear to be a floral or leaf pattern. The anklet is thick and sturdy, with a substantial weight to it. The top of the anklet has two small, spiral-shaped protrusions that connect to form a clasp. The background of the image is a plain white surface.
