This Old Mbole Anklet Bracelet Trade Currency from B. Faso is a superb example of a regional form of currency, measuring 7.5" wide by 8" deep by 5" high. Exclusively crafted by the Mbole people of the Southeastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, these large and rounded anklets symbolize a marriage contract, and they are worn by men and women alike. Made from a single ingot, they feature a cast opening on one side and two sizes, "Ehuke" being the larger and "Diako" the smaller.
