Sao Cameroun/Chad Exceptional lost-wax bronze spiked bracele - Lot 151
Sao Cameroun/Chad Exceptional lost-wax bronze spiked bracelet. Clearly an object of prestige, this large bracelet (7 cm thick) bristles with three rows of 76 spikes curved in a dynamic movement that softens towards the top. Only three regalias of this type are known to date. Two belong to the Galerie de Monbrison, the other to the Musée Barbier Mueller in Geneva (inv. 1015-94) and is reproduced in the exhibition catalog Bijoux de l'homme, Bijoux de la terre. Carbon-14 dating gives this object an age dating back to the 11th century. Bronze with deep excavation patina in remarkable condition. Height: 20 cm width 23 cm
