About the Item
Time-honored texture and form define this Nigerian copper sculptural object. The intricate geometry was achieved through a process known as scarification. The artisan would meticulously trace and retrace their carvings to create the definition and discoloration exhibited here. A woman of status used this anklet as both ceremonial garb and as an expression of her day to day wealth. It has been mounted on a custom steel stand.
