A thick silver anklet forms a circular ring with two identical, pointed, bulbous ends facing across a small gap. Rows of raised, petal-like shapes border the inner and outer edges, framing a central band of scrolling floral patterns. The bulbous tips feature a flower motif surrounded by fine vertical lines. Dark recessed areas highlight the deep carvings, while the metallic surface glimmers along the repetitive textures throughout the circumference.
