Hand-cast using the lost-wax method, the thick copper alloy boasts a beautiful green verdigris patina that accentuates the geometric patterns and open-work details. This large, classic "horseshoe" form features bands of geometric piercings, a central boss, and graduating spiral embellishments, all hallmarks of Bamum artistry. More than just an adornment, this collector African currency bracelet is a window into the rich cultural heritage of Cameroon.
