00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,733
GUEST: This was sitting on 
my grandparents' coffee table 
ever since I can remember. I

2
00:00:04,733 --> 00:00:09,733
understand that my grandfather's 
brother George, who lived in 
Berlin during World War II, got

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,133
it from some Jewish friends 
that he helped escape Berlin 
during the war. And he gave

4
00:00:17,166 --> 00:00:21,933
it to my grandparents. And 
I inherited this after my 
grandmother passed away.

5
00:00:23,466 --> 00:00:25,933
I'd heard that it 
belonged on the tusk of 
an elephant, perhaps,

6
00:00:25,933 --> 00:00:30,933
and also, we looked at 
magazines, and my cousin 
says she saw one of 
these on the ankle of,

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,566
some tribesman or something. 
So I don't know.

8
00:00:36,566 --> 00:00:41,533
APPRAISER: It is an anklet, and 
it's called an antal. They're 
made in Oman, which is on

9
00:00:43,533 --> 00:00:47,666
the Arabian Peninsula, in a 
place called Nizwa, and would 
probably be part of a dowry, and

10
00:00:49,766 --> 00:00:53,200
I think this one was probably 
made any time, probably about 
1850 to about 1910. It's made

11
00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:00,200
out of silver. The workmanship 
is extremely good. It's very 
beautiful, indeed. And, as

12
00:01:01,066 --> 00:01:02,300
you can tell, I really like it.

13
00:01:02,300 --> 00:01:04,266
GUEST: Thank you, 
I like it, too.

14
00:01:04,266 --> 00:01:08,666
APPRAISER: I think a retail 
price for this would be 
around $800 to $1,000.

15
00:01:11,433 --> 00:01:16,433
GUEST: Holy cow! Wow. That's 
amazing. I had no idea.
