GUEST: This was sitting on
my grandparents' coffee table
ever since I can remember. I

understand that my grandfather's
brother George, who lived in
Berlin during World War II, got

it from some Jewish friends
that he helped escape Berlin
during the war. And he gave

it to my grandparents. And
I inherited this after my
grandmother passed away.

I'd heard that it
belonged on the tusk of
an elephant, perhaps,

and also, we looked at
magazines, and my cousin
says she saw one of
these on the ankle of,

some tribesman or something.
So I don't know.

APPRAISER: It is an anklet, and
it's called an antal. They're
made in Oman, which is on

the Arabian Peninsula, in a
place called Nizwa, and would
probably be part of a dowry, and

I think this one was probably
made any time, probably about
1850 to about 1910. It's made

out of silver. The workmanship
is extremely good. It's very
beautiful, indeed. And, as

you can tell, I really like it.

GUEST: Thank you,
I like it, too.

APPRAISER: I think a retail
price for this would be
around $800 to $1,000.

GUEST: Holy cow! Wow. That's
amazing. I had no idea.
