2. Sea-Dyak — " gerang giring." 



a. Two pairs of brass anklets worn by women. Each 

 anklet is a tube of thick brass bent into a penannular ring ; the 

 tube is somewhat elliptical in section ; the outer border of the 

 tube is split by a broad slit which runs almost from one end to 

 the other, the ends however are for a short distance closed in ; 

 in the tube run five or six spheres of brass which make a 

 jangling noise whenever the wearer moves about. The outside 

 of the anklets is covered with designs in bold relief, one design 

 is a series of wedges (puchok rebong), another is phyllomorphic 

 and a crocodile figures on one example. 



Diam. 13*6 cm. to 13*1 cm. 



Brooke Low collection. 



Catalogue No. 393. (Plate V. fig. 10, b). 



Similar anklets but made of silver are worn by unmarried 

 Malay girls, and there is little doubt but that the Sea-Dyaks 

 borrowed the ornament from them.
