Description
ivory, shiny patina, ring-shaped with flaring sides, min. dam., fine cracks through age;
the origin of such bare bracelets without decor can hardly be determined. Among the Baule for example, it was a sign of wealth for a man to be able to offer such a bracelet to his “senior wife” when he married a second woman.
