Bangle

"Bangle styles also demonstrate how the Indus artisans produced ornaments that served to unite as well as to differentiate the various communities living in the cities. From the Harappan Phase, we see bangles primarily on female figurines and in female burials, although some males do appear to have worn bangles. Bangles were generally worn on the arms, but circlets that look like bangles were also worn in the hair, on belts, on the ankles or sewn onto clothing. When worn on the arms, three or four bangles were often placed on the wrist and two or more bangles above the elbow, usually with equal numbers of bangles worn on both arms. A slightly modified pattern is depicted on the famous bronze figurines from Mohenjo-daro, where several bangles were worn on the right arm at the wrist and elbow, but the left arm was filled with bangles from wrist to shoulder."
