This is an antique African Bidda tribe or sometimes spelled Bida cast metal currency Manilla bracelet which was collected from Nigeria, Africa. This Bidda tribal people's currency piece measures 2.41 inches tall by 2.84 inches wide. Currency bracelets & anklets served as indications of wealth and were used to store finances, pay for dowries and buy or trade for livestock and goods. This is an amazing example and a perfect piece to add to any advanced African currency collection. The most common forms of traditional money in Africa were made of metal, either forged or cast. I combine shipping on multiple buys so please be sure to check out my eBay store Mountainamma's Marketplace where I have thousands of items to browse through from Africa and beyond.
