ANTIQUE AFRICAN MBOLE COPPER ANKLET CURRENCY ON STAND

This Item is FINAL SALE.

A remarkable piece of African material culture, this antique Mbole currency anklet (ambi or legbands) is fashioned from heavy, hand-worked copper with an expressive crescent-shaped form. Traditionally worn around the lower leg, objects of this type carried both practical and symbolic value within Mbole society.

Copper represented wealth and status and could circulate through significant exchanges, including marriage-related transactions, ceremonial presentations, and other occasions of social importance.

Mounted on a custom black iron stand, the piece can be appreciated equally as an important cultural object or as a striking sculptural accent. A distinctive addition to a curated African art collection or sophisticated contemporary interior.
