$15.00 Shipping Location: Overland Park, United States 29 x 13 x 15 inches This stunning wooden trunk is from the Kuba area of the Congo. Africa. It was brought to the UK in the 30's by a family member ... morewho was working out there as an anthropologist. The trunk would have probably been used as a ceremonial trunk to keep treasured possessions and cloth in but this[as you can see by the pictures] comes with some very odd items. From research I have done about them. They seem to be Shaman's artifacts. Items which would be used in witchcraft, none of the items have been opened from their wrappings so that their content should be intact and preserved and how they would be intended for use by the Shaman. Some items have been swaddled/mummified in an early hessian type cloth. The trunk is large at 29inches in length x 15 deep x 13 wide and makes a beautiful feature and talking point. The condition of the box is good for its age. The wood shown in the box is from the right hand side of the lid and can be fixed back on easily, it has always been as it is since I have had the box. Inside of the box you can see the tool marks from the construction, with the use of very primitive tools. Part of the front clasp has broken off at some point but again the broken part is still with the box. Some nails have been replaced at some point in its history and some original remain as do the primitive hinges. The box is hand carved with circumpuncts and geometric patterns typical of the regions crafts. The circumpunct signifies the sun and was used a lot by tribal craftsmen[as well as the rest of the world] For overseas shipping please contact me with your postal code before buying. Postal charges vary considerably with larger items and I can then get an accurate quote for you. You might find it a lot cheaper!

GJPaw Auctions is pleased to offer an Antique Coiled Copper Manilla or Coiled“Bracelet” Currency. This particular piece is from the Igbo people of Central Nigeria and is made of copper.

While some continued to be functional for work or decorative purposes, most evolved into"pure" currency, deliberately unusable except as objects recognized, prized, and accepted as payment. Aside from their intrinsic value. They were also valued for their artistry as can be seen in the extraordinary beauty of the example on offer. GJPaw Auctions has been in the

This can be understood as the snake is very often associated to the Lobi mythical beings. Also, the Lobi encounter numerous serpents, including the Bites viper and the Boa Constrictor. To protect them from the dangers that the snakes represent forged iron snakes were either worn on their person or placed on personal altars. In addition to examples such as this serpent that probably served as an altar object, women will attach smaller sinuous, flat-modeled images of serpents to the sides of their legs just above the ankle reaching up the leg close to the knee. Generally placed on the outer side of the leg they may often be on the inside of the leg or both sides as well. The bodies will be displayed with a sinuous set of curves as though the snakes were moving through the grass. In many cases, the heads are simply defined as a triangular shape with the mouth possibly noted with a thin line beaten into the side of the face.

TUAREG Brass BRACELET CURRENCY.....Tribal African Antique Manilla
When I was a child in the 60's. I use to love to go to the Lagos market, in Nigeria, with my mother. This is one of our finds! It is very heavy and beautiful in design. I am sure it is brass. I have found many references when I searched under Scott Semans World Coins and African Bracelet Money and TUAREG BRACELET CURRENCY. I am not sure of it's age, but I know it is at least 50 plus years old. I have not found another with as much design on the cuff, so I assume this one is special! ec2.RcmdId ViewItemDescV4,RlogId p4%60bo7%60jtb9%3Fvo%7B%3Dd70f%2B%3Eec2-147039a0fa3-0xff-

The smaller ones were manufactured in England or France and. Like trade beads, were used for trade, ... moreincluding the slave trade, with Africa and ended up there. Larger queen and king(like this one) manillas were more likely to have been forged in Africa and were believed to have been used by the nobility as a store of wealth and to settle transactions for significant purchases such as land. Slaves and brides. The metal content varies from copper to brass. But many were mixed with lead and even iron. There are in addition variations in size, form and quality.

ANTIQUE TO BUY A GIRL AFRICAN KATANGA CROSS CROIX BRONZE MONEY OLD CURRENCY
PLEASE NOTE: ONLY SHIPPING TO THE USA AND ALL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES(Secure shipping to all other countries is too expensive- double) Antique African Katanga Cross Form of old currency to buy a wife. Animals and other forms of trade.

All details: see photos. Very good condition During this specific African historical period Katanga crosses were made in various sizes and big ones are considered to be over 14 to 18 cm across. Rare(or better good) ones have a weight of over 0.5 kilogram. The currency was produced in Katanga by the Bangwa who mastered the secret and procedure in the first place to refine the copper from the minerals ... moreto make it so pure using extremely high temperatures in different ovens. De molten copper is then poured in soil. The form of payment went from buying animals to a woman(for marriage) This would require a big cross. Or a few. It is not very documented in history but during the colonisation of Congo by the Belgians the crosses disappeared. The fact is that the Belgians introduced“real” money. Small copper coins as we know them in our cultures. The crosses lost their value and they were“taken” confiscated” or traded and molten at factories because it was easy refined“ore” As pure colonialists all the famous copper mines in Katanga were under the governing of the Belgians.

Bamun Collar Currency Bronze Cameroon African
Title, Bamun Collar Large Heavy Bronze Cameroon African Type of Object, Bronze Collar, Country of Origin, Cameroon, People, Bamun people, Materials, Bronze. Brass or other alloys, Approximate Age, Unknown 20th century Dimensions, 11.5 inches x 14 inches; 7 inches interior Diam, Overall Condition, Fair to good, Damage/Repair, Old repair on left side. Oxidation on the surface, Additional Information: Old repair on left side. Oxidation on the surface. This is an exceptionally large and heavy bronze(or brass) collar decorated with cast human figures on the lower part and with series of intricate patterns on the upper part in the form of of a crescent with opening. The origin of this dramatic collar is not known with precision. But its ornamentation related this artifact to works from Cameroon. The shape of cows head and detailing of the surface ... moreare from the Bamun. Such collars were probably cast for a king or a member of the royal court among the Bamun people. The brasscasters guild historically worked primarily for the monarchy. With smaller pieces being available to chiefs. Bamun castings were all made using the lost wax technique. Which produces one-of-a-kind pieces. A core of clay is covered with wax, which is then carved into the exact shape which the artist wants the finished piece to have. Additional wax"pipelines" are made for the wax to exit and gases to escape. The wax is then covered with a layer of fine clay, and with succeeding layers, each coarser than the previous one. The mold is then heated, which melts the wax and fires the clay into a solid mold. The empty space is filled by pouring in molten brass. After the piece cools, the clay mold is broken, revealing the metal piece ready for polishing. Recommended Reading: Tamara Northern. The Art of Cameroon, The Smithsonian Institution, 1984.
