Hi!
I have this vintage Indian anklet, marked mkn. Can anyone tell me about it? I can’t find much online, except for quite valuable wedding anklets and necklaces, and I think that’s unlikely?

Anklets, or ankle bracelets, have over 8,000 years of history, originating in ancient Egypt, Sumeria, and the Indus Valley as symbols of wealth, status, and protection.
Historically worn by both men and women, they were crafted from gold, silver, and beads, often indicating social rank or marital status.Referred to locally as payal or pajeb, they are deeply rooted in tradition to symbolize femininity and prosperity. The sound of jangling bells was believed to ward off evil spirits.
