    Fine Massive Bamum Bracelet – African Currency – Cameroon
    Bronze; grams 892,9 (31.5 oz.); Cm. 12,0 high x cm 11,5 width (4.72" x 4.53").
    This massive ornate bracelet is a form of currency found among the Bamum (Bamun) people of Cameroon.
    Though often identified as a currency type it also served as a prestige object available in most instances to elites within Bamum society. Featuring a complex series of patterns this hollow cast bracelet is decorated with a series of lines, zig-zag patterns and a center section arranged as a complex interlace design.
    This massive, heavy and hollow cast bracelet is an extraordinary example of the skill of the Bamun bronze caster in casting a large metal form with complex design on the outer surface and a smooth interior surface with an open space between both surfaces.
