Pair of Nigerian Cast & Engraved Bronze Bangles

This fine pair of matched, cast bronze bangles is of almost closed ‘C’ form.

The bodies of the bangles are twisted, giving them a wonderful form and texture.

The finials are engraved with geometric patterns.

The bangles are of solid metal and so have a good weight.

Bangles and anklets such as these often were used a s a form of currency in West Africa, as well as a form of adornment.

The pair here is in excellent condition. One is lighter in colour than the other.
