A powerful symbol of history and culture, this antique ceremonial bracelet whispers stories of Nigeria's Vere people in the Benue Valley. Hand-cast using the time-honored lost-wax method, the thick bronze alloy boasts a beautiful darkened patina. This robust shape, free of ornamentation, is a rare representation of Vere tradition, once a vital part of their daily life. More than just an adornment, this piece served a multifaceted purpose. For the Vere people, it was a form of currency, crafted from prized metals and used for trade. It also held significance in ceremonies and as personal decoration.
This collector's piece transcends its utilitarian past. The rich patina adds to its undeniable character, making it a unique conversation starter and a treasure for any collection of cultural artifacts.
