This is an early 20th century Nigerian bracelet recently purchased from a private collection.  It is made of a nickel silver alloy and has small knobs and ridges on the ends of the cuffs.

 

It measures 7 1/2" around the inside and it is 1/8" wide. The total gram weight is 21.1

Condition: The bangle is slightly out of round.

We purchased the collection of late 19th and early 20th century Nigerian artifacts collected between approx. 1950-70. There are over 50 pieces with a focus on ceremonial, ritual and spiritual tools and also a collection of West African currency manilla bracelets. Many are rare museum quality pieces including Ifa Divination tools, cowrie shrines and fetishes and Eshu figures.

Be sure to check my listings for the other pieces from the same collection. All the pieces have been privately held for the last 60+ years by the original collectors and are offered here for sale for the first time.

Provenance will be provided to the winning buyer if requested.
