2 Antique African Kissi Pennies/Currency Iron Forms Sierra Leone
Up for auction are two(2) antique African Kissi pennies/ currency iron forms. Sierra Leone, one full size, the other is broken in two. The Kissi of Western Guinea and Sierra Leone used these strangely shaped metal pieces as currency for more than a hundred years. Kissi and Toma peoples; Guinea. Sierra Leone, and Liberia, West Africa) Apparently, the shape came about at least in part because it was virtually impossible to"shave" or alter the amount of metal in them without the tampering becoming immediately obvious. Larger"denominations" were made by twisting several pieces together and securing with leather strips. If one of them became legitimately broken, its value could only be restored in a special ceremony conducted by a shaman. Therefore, it was said to have a"soul. In earlier times, marriages among the Gbande ... morewere confirmed with a kissi penny. Once part of the bride price had been paid, the groom placed a kissi penny on his bride's head and said"THIS IS MY WIFE. See them in Schaedler's EARTH AND ORE-25000 YEARS OF AFRICAN ART IN TERRA COTTA AND METAL. Each measures approximately 14' long. The broken penny measures one piece 5-1/2" long and the other is 8-1/2" long. Be sure to check my other auctions and thanks for looking.
