ORNAMENTS
Ornaments are greatly prized, particularly in rural parts more as a means of safe-keeping of money than for decoration or aids to beauty. That is why they are not artistically made, but just hammered or punched into shape and rudely engraved. Men hardly use any ornaments but among women they are popular. Even in this respect fashions have much changed and there is a desire to imitate people from cities like Nagpur. For children, a number of bracelets, anklets and necklaces are used. They are of gold among well to-do but of silver among the poor.
