Description
Brass Chilambu 8 inches
This is a ritual ornament (chilambu) made in a hollow cast technique using brass. The hollow section contains small metallic balls that create rattling sounds when the ornament is in movement. The chilambu is generally worn by the priests known as Vellichappad. These priests evoke the spirit of the deities in them during rituals when they undergo a state of trance.
Pair of Chilambu from Kerala atate were worn by male dancers to make a rhythmical effect primarily during Theyyam (kerala traditional art) dance performances. These rigid anklets were made by bell-metal casters and have a pair of hollow circular rings.
All our products are handcrafted and this results in each product being unique and slightly different from each other and therefore will have minor variations on dimensions and weight brass chilambu.
