Antique Bronze Anklet, Nigeria fetish 20 inches long with sterlingSolid bronze anklet from Nigeria, West Africa. Hand cast using the lost wax technique, and approximately 200 years old! Inside measures 2 3 4 inches across x 5 inches. Lovely simple design, and incredible art object, highly collectible! Heavy, this could be cleaned polished. I think this could be worn by a man, fitting a larger wrist, but was made as an anklet, I believe.
