| Abstract: | Evidence of the art is found in the temples of Bengal and nearby shrines of Orissa, and one of the antique ornaments found on the sculptures is "Chandra hara" (garland of moons). The kinkini or leg-chain was common to women and young boys. The intricate design and filigree work were mainly executed by Dhaka gold and silver smiths. The study of the traditional jewellery of Bengal is important if it is to be either preserved as a cottage industry, or if its best designs incorporated into modern workmanship.
