B03033 Leg jewellery

Iron beads are strung on long, light brown leather straps. The iron beads still shimmer brightly in some places, but are covered with an unclear substance in most places, making the whole thing appear dark brown. The leather straps are knotted into a ring. 5 different large rings are placed on top of each other. A wide leather loop forms the end of each ring. The ends of the leather straps are threaded through the leather loops so that the leg jewellery holds together. The ribbons hang down like fringes.
