Thank you everyone. Nuno, this was the slight doubt I had, that it could be
something like this because it was part of a Goan woman's collection in
Zanzibar in the 1800s. But on the whole, I don't think they meant shackles, I
think the correct interpretation would be bangles.
Warm wishes everyone,Selma

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

Subject: [GRN] manilhas de oiroHello 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 :-) Take care,selma
