Antique African Currency Bracelet Decorated Tribal Form 5.5 X 5.5

here is a remarkable antique currency bracelet from Africa, likely West African in origin. This bold, horseshoe-shaped piece was traditionally used both as a form of wearable wealth and ceremonial currency.

Measuring approximately 5.5 inches tall and 5.5 inches wide, it features intricate openwork and decorative geometric patterns all around the exterior. The domed ends are solid and smooth with age-worn patina, contrasting beautifully with the textured latticework design.

This bracelet has a rich greenish patina from age and oxidization, adding to its visual and historical appeal. The craftsmanship suggests hand-forging and detailed lost-wax casting methods, often associated with tribal currency pieces used in dowries or high-value trade.
