Superb iron currency from Africa, Chamba - Nigeria. XX Century.
The so-called primitive iron coins appeared relatively late in African art because blacksmiths acquired control of iron only after exchanges with Westerners. However, there is a very wide diversity depending on the region.
This type of genuine iron coin, depending on its shape, could also be a jet or pommel weapon. They were used for barter or wedding dowries.
IMPORTANT: The price of shipment national will be around 50 euros due to the weight of the object and the stand.
Forged iron - Size: 95 X 24.5 X 5 cm / Weight: Aprox. 4 Kgs (For sale with stand).
Acquired from a Spanish private collection, R.O in the 80's.
