Bracelets and anklets are usually made of two sections clasped together at two joints with one of these serving as the opening. They consist of several pieces of silver soldered together and are often hollow. This pair of gilded silver bangles represent costume jewellery for a Sumatran bride. It is made using repoussé and filigree techniques.
