An ornament for the ankle, alluded to by Isaiah (3:18) in the list of articles of jewelry that the women of that day were accustomed to wear. Sometimes the Anklets were connected by a short chain, compelling in this way an affected or mincing manner of walking. The Targum on the passage and Yer. Shab. 3:8b translate 'akasim by "shoes" or "slippers."
