nowadays is less used in that sense

In Portuguese (Portugal) is “pulseiras de ouro”. Used by women as body
ornaments.
The word “manilha” is mostly used in mechanics. It is mostly connected to
technical issues.

Could be this:
or this:
In the dictionary I found the following:
manilha
1. Argola com que se adornam os pulsos e, em certas culturas, os tornozelos, que no passado era usada como moeda de troca em África.
But I couldn't find any picture, for illustration.

Hi Selma.
I am very familiar with the term "manila" through my many years of work with
MOA-UBC.
Although English sources translate them as shackles, they are actually a kind
of thick bangle or more precisely "bracelet" that was usually made of copper or
bronze and were exported for the slave
Ah ok. I was thinking probably bracelets. Thank you, Sandra.
Warmly,Selma

"Manilha" also translates as 'bracelet', and is rather common with that
meaning in texts describing Asian contexts (as recorded in several examples
of Dalgado's *Glossário Luso-Asiático*).

Hello members,
Please tell me what this 19th century piece of jewellery is. It translates as
gold shackles, but surely Goan women were not wearing shackles even if it was
1800 Zanzibar :-)
