A pair of early cast bronze anklets with a striking verdigris contrasting surface patina. The surface of each cuff is finely decorated with geometric and circle and dot designs not too dissimilar to Tuareg in appearance, so its possible these are Tuareg of a neighbouring culture in Niger and Chad. Note the extensive wear on the edges of each adornment!
