anklet (dict)
|
AnkletAn anklet is an ornament worn around the ankle by unmarried women in India. The anklet can be an aphrodisiac for foot fetishists who are aroused by the clinging sound. Anklets can be made of silver, gold and sometimes iron. Apart from the aesthetic considerations, it is meant for attracting the male's attention. Anklets are of two types - flexible and inflexible. The flexible ones, often called pajeb or jhanjhar, are made by tying links in a chain. Subsequently, sonorous bells can be attached to the chain, in order to make pleasing sounds while walking. Inflexible ones that require less skills to make are created by giving shape to a flat sheet.
