What is an Anklet?
ANK'LET
Though this word does not occur in the A. V., anklets are referred to in Isa 3:16, 1 Sam 30:18, Ruth 4:20. They were worn upon each leg and were as Anise. (After Tristram.) common as bracelets upon the arms,and were made of much the same Anklets. 1, 2, 3, 4. Egyptian Anklets. 5. Modern worn by dancing-girls. 6. 7. Assyrian, of iron and Bronze. {From Ninevah. Now in British Museum.) materials. The musical tinkling and jingling which they made as the wearers walked were no doubt the reasons for their use. The ornamental step-chains worn by females, according to Gesenius, caused the short and mincing walk alluded to by the prophet in verse 16. Lane speaks of these ornaments as now worn in the East.
