Which were used through the western grasslands of Cameroon as a medium of exchange. Such Kwadja plates, were commonly found in the 1930s and 1940s among all Kaka peoples of the Upper Donga Valley and were also utilized by the Mambila, who resided on the plateau just north of the Donga River. The Mambila.

TEXTILE AFRICAN KUBA RAFFIA CLOTH KASSAI CURRENCY BUTALA DR CONGO ZAIRE ETHNIX
AFRICAN RAFFIA KUBA GRASS CLOTH KASSAI VELVET PREMIUM BUTALA Type of Object: KUBA CLOTH"Butala" Premium Quality. Ethnic Group: KUBA. Country of Origin: DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC of CONGO. Materials: RAFFIA. NATURAL DYE. Approximate Age: 30+ years. Dimensions: 20" x 16" Weight: 7 ounces. Overall Condition: Used. EXCELLENT. Additional Information: Kuba cloth is the embroidered and appliquéd fabric of the Kuba people from DR of Congo and is amongst the best-known textile of the ancient African tradition of raffia cloth weaving. Its geometric art forms have been the source of inspiration for artists such as Picasso. Klee and Matisse who respectively owned extensive collections. Kuba textile art is created from single panels of cloth embroidered with dyed raffia thread and is cut to create a plush pile cloth. These panels are ... morenot worn but displayed, and serve as currency and markers of prestige. This is one such prestige panel. Like almost all so-called Kasai"velvets" the overall composition is asymmetrical and irregular and no two panels are identical. We grade the panels in two qualitative categories: 1) A looser. Flatter“Chacho” Raffia cloth(panel flat-weave and cut-pile embroidery, natural dyes) and 2) the“Butala” Premium Quality Raffia cloth which is thicker and more plush(panel flat-weave and cut-pile embroidery, natural dyes) Composed of a series of interlocking knotted designs in tan and black. The visual complexity and geometrical structure make these fabrics a favorite. The variation of compositions are staggering! In Kuba culture, the cloth also forms an important part of funeral rites. High quality, specific patterned raffia dress is key to being recognized by clan ancestors. These designs are handed down from generation to generation and it is the strength of this tradition that has kept the skills of making Kuba cloth alive. Kuba cloth at times also play a role in wedding ceremonies offered as gifts or currency. Kuba cloth technique involves first weaving a plain square of ra

Brass Spiral Currency Bracelet Nigeria African SALE Was $39

Niger Delta and the Cross River Region, Materials, Brass(unknown metal content) Approximate Age, Unknown, Dimensions, 3 inches interior diameter. 1 inch wide. See picture with penny for size comparison. Overall Condition, Poor to fair. Most of our pieces have spent decades on at least two continents. And have been treasured by several owners.  Small splits, scrapes and cracks are a normal part of their patina attesting to their age and extensive use. We examine each piece carefully when we receive it and report any damage we find in our listings. Please look carefully at the pictures which may also reveal condition and damage. Damage/Repair, Heavy oxidation. Tarnishing, and general wear, Additional ... moreInformation: The origin of this brass or copper alloy coiled bracelet could be located in Nigeria. Probably in Cross River region. The brass or copper-alloy works are in fact stylistically located to a shrine and town rather than to single ethnic group. Numbers of copper-alloy bracelets, manilas, torques, figures and animal skulls have been found and in the past have been generally attributed to the âLower Niger Bronze Industryâ, after this original appellation by W. Fagg(1963) Bracelet forms such as this preceded European contact. As noted by Peek and Nicklin(2002:54) Portuguese traders developed their copper-alloy manilla forms after bracelet prototypes found at Obolo, a shrine and burial place for the Obolo or Andoni people. Large ones twisted and knotted were worn during funerals on wrists of ankles. Small ones like this example were stored as currencies and used for exchange. Recommended Reading: Anderson. G.P. and P.

Vintage Antique Cameroon Bamoun Tikar? Bronze Currency Bracelet Tribal African
The woman that I acquired this bracelet from said that she acquired it second hand and she did not know anything about. I did not know much about it either other than it looked like an old tribal piece. After doing some research. I am pretty sure that it is a bronze currency bracelet from Africa. To my eye, it looks most like the currency bracelets made by the Bamoun-Tikar people in Cameroon. It looks vintage or antique to me with a nice dark patina. I think that the green or verdigris might be applied. I leave it to the buyer to determine exactly how old it is and where it is from. The overall diameter is about 4 1/2 to 4 3/4 inches. At its widest. It is about 3 3/4 inches wide. It weighs close to 1 pound 8 ounces. The gap between the open ends measures slightly less than 1 1/8 inches. The inside diameter measured from one side to the other ... moreis slightly over 2 1/4 inches. So your wrist should be narrower than that for it to be comfortably worn. The condition is much like you see it in my photos. It is generally in excellent condition with patina or tarnish and what looks like verdigris. There are irregularities that are expected of hand made items. Otherwise. There is no damage. My photos should give you a good idea of its general condition. I guarantee this bracelet to be as described and represented by my photos. The photos are part of the description. Those paying with Paypal must have a confirmed address registered with Paypal. If you pay with Paypal. I will ship only to your confirmed address. I like to leave feedback after I know that the item has arrived and that the buyer is satisfied. I reserve the right to cancel any bids without explanation. Please email me with any questions or suggestions. I do not ship on weekends. I might not be available to answer email on weekends. Seven photos should load with this listing.

Approximately 8-14 inches each. 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 ... morepieces 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 were confirmed with a kissi penny.

Old Antique Three African Bronze Money Ring coin currency Cash Slave
Hi! Thank you for visit my store. ONE Old African Currency Spring. Was used up to end 19 cetury. Was used as curency to buy water or slaves. Size approx are 27 mm in D; 25 mm; 24 mm Beautiful unique Money- Rings. Good addition for your own jewelry or collection Return accept during two weeks. No question ask* PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR FAVORITES LIST* Hi! My name is Elena. I’m collecting ancient beads from 1979. Most of my beads were found in Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. To be precise they were found between Mary city(Turkmenistan) and Samarkand(Uzbekistan) That area in past was called Bactria. Nowadays there are a lot of ruins older than 2000 years in this region. I like ancient beads very much and want that other collectors will be able to obtain them without paying a lot of money. That is why my prices are very modest. I lived in Asgabat city(the ... morecapital of Turkmenistan) over 30 years. About 15 km from Asgabat there is Nisa– former residence of Alexander the Great.And capital of Parthia. In most cases the ancient beads. Not only played the role of jewelry but also the status of the person wearing them. You were able to tell the social status of an individual based on the beads they were wearing, while other used these beads as talismans protecting themselves against bad luck and the evil eye. Certain beads that have zigzagging lines are supposed to confuse the evil eye which would get lost in these lines. Beads that have the image of an eye try to just absorb the evil energy, and thus protect the person who is wearing them. Periodically the beads would be washed in salt water, because it is believe the salt water kills the negative energy. The image of the eye was sometimes very abstract and was more like an image of a flower, however sometimes the beads would correctly reflect the wearers eyes, including the color. Parthia kingdom. The tsar of Parthia- Mitridat I(around 170—138/137 BC) took away the Selevkied's eastern satrapies(land) Persia. The largest part of Mesopotamia, Armenia and a part of the

African tribal currency Bamana iron oil lamp or candle holder ethnographic art
This is a multi-armed lamp with a cup to hold oil at the front. Oil known as tulu. Made from the Karite tree nut was burned in the cups to produce a dark, smoky light that was as much a light for ritual purposes as for illumination. Lamps such as this would serve in the house but also would provide light, real and ritual, for masks when they danced at night. The small forged bird at the top is praising God with either a Muslem position of prayer or a traditionalist animist's gesture of prayer. The arms of the lamp repeat this gesture. Small spoons hanging by chains were used to adjust the wick, made of twisted cotton burning in the Karite oil. This lamp with it's standardized forms is an example of the change of style in Bamana lamps as other forms of iron material became available and in this instance the arms and support of the ... morelamp is riveted together rather than fully forged. Yet it must be noted that the figure has been forged and hammered to an abstract figure in the profile. It measures 12" in height and 5" in width.
