Bracelet/cuff, solid bronze, cylindrical shape, size 21 cm, diameter 9.5 / 6.5 cm, weight 1.1 kilos. Such heavy jewelry was worn by self-confident women on both arms (probably not in everyday life) and was a sign of wealth. In Nigeria and Benin, the art of bronze casting has a centuries-old tradition.
