Remarkable twisted coin bracelet

Authentic and splendid semi-twisted coin bracelet (parade ring). Its shape is reminiscent of the Nigerien Zarma/Djerma or Fulani ethnic groups. A detailed description will be provided later, but for now I am presenting an overview of all 24 listings of objects whose provenance remains exceptional—a scientific and primitive art treasure. Discover among my 24 listings a unique historical ensemble, kept intact and preserved within my family for over 70 years, because a former family member worked at the prestigious Bureau of Geology and Mining Research (BRGM) during the 1950s. These pieces form part of a spectacular field collection. The collection is documented by its wooden transport case with colonial BRGM Natitingou-Dahomey inscriptions, the former name of present-day Benin; it is also documented by an exceptional set of 26 geological maps with explanatory notes dating from surveys conducted between 1935 and 1961. You will find among my 24 listings an exceptional King Manilla weighing over 3.8 kg. Each lot (24 in total) is a fragment of this historic geological expedition. This rare bronze coin bracelet features a superb nuanced patina, a high-end piece with its splendid twisted helix body. It is richly hand-engraved with traditional complex geometric motifs: circles, friezes, grooves, guilloches. It weighs 795 grams with a diameter of 105 mm, making it a striking and characterful piece. Good period condition, in its original patina. Authentic collector’s piece.
