Close-up photograph of a bare foot and lower leg resting on a wooden surface, wearing a wide band of ankle bells with bronze bell-shaped pendants strung on a leather strap. Orange-saffron cloth is draped over the knee and a red-brown garment lies beneath. A hand with a thin cord bracelet rests near the foot against a white background. Ritual ankle bells suggest a dance or ceremonial setting, and the foot appears to be a seated person's during a ritual.
