Crotals
Anklet with three integral crotals or pellet bells. The brass or bronze anklet is cast in a C-shape. Each crotal has one stone pellet and is decorated on one side only. There is a slit in each crotal in the plane of anklet. The design on the bells on the left and right is identical: a cross with concentric circular arcs in each quadrant. The middle bell has concentric circles about the centre of its upper face.
