Vere People, Nigeria-Cameroon, Cast Brass Necklaces or Waist Beads Collection

About

Cast brass necklace or waist beads. Very little is known about this small Ethnic Group, numbering about 20.000 people in Eastern Nigeria close to the Cameroon border. There's no similarity to be found with the neighbouring Tribes, the Bata and the Chamba. In my opinion they are necklaces; they are much heavier than the similar Nupe Waistbeads, what would make them very uncomfortable to wear on the hips. The necklace has 31 decorated and undecorated strung brass beads and one very large central bead that is cushion shaped and cast with pearled edges. The object has the most suberbe wear and patina and originated at the end of the 19th-beginning 20th century.
