Description
Plain iron wire, flat on the inside [possibly due to wear as opposed to design], ends cut off sharp. According to original cataloguing information this would have been worn by by a Nakali father: "used to wear lots up right arm in those days, which jangled when milking", known as an 'oshivela'.[FHM15/08/2019]
