Crotals

Gajelu, a pair of anklets (Horniman Museum numbers: M30.3.53/50a and M30.3.53/50b) with pellet bells. Each of the hollow, circular anklets is decorated with eighteen roundels with concentric rings, bordered by simulated cords. Fourteen small integral rings encircle each anklet and attached to each one is a spherical pellet bell, with a slit at the bottom. The pellet bells have designs of concentric circles, similar to those on the anklets. One pellet bell is missing from both of the anklets.
