IJERE
£30.00Price
(ee-jeh-reh)
Spectacular loud ankle rattles, sold in pairs, worn by Igbo masquerade and other dancers, made from masses of small metal jingles, attached to wrap around cloth and tied at back of leg. Very light weight, each one has 24 bells. So you'll get 48 bells of jingle! Often the masquerade ties multiple ijere as far up as the knees...
To watch them in a village Maquerade context see the video:
