The anklets are true specimens of traditional ornamentation of the Gadaba tribe, a relatively lively tribal populace, found most prevalently in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. Such and is made with white metal. The anklets display the coming together of utility and artistry through the entire lifetime of the tribe's metal art and personal ornamentation. Every anklet comprises a sturdy chain, from which small bits of metal are dangling every so. Such a source of the beauty of the anklets adds an ethereal chirp with the movement of the wearer. Every anklet is designed with beautiful floral motifs hanging at easy intervals. Simple yet effective locking keeps the anklets in place.
Jewellery finds elaborate significance in the Gadaba cultural context and serves as an identity marker, a show of status, and an indication of ceremonial value. Anklets, which are tied only for women, are usually worn during festivals, rituals, and dances, wherein the swinging rhythm imparts grace to all movements. Floral motifs symbolize their love for nature and that they take inspiration from it. All this jewellery is handcrafted by age-old methods that have been passed down through the generations; hence every pair is unique in its own right. This makes these types of anklets unique because they look luminous, as if finished in silver, adding to their aesthetic and cultural value. Such ornamentation today is housed within museums and cultural institutions as a method of recording and propagating India's tribal diversity.
