It is from the Lobi people that were in what is now Ghana although they were dispersed through Burkina Faso & Ivory Coast. It is in good yet oxidized condition and although was originally an item of currency and wealth it is a great and decorative item of tribal art & design.
This item is from the extensive collection of Seward Kennedy that went up for auction in 2016 / 2017 after his passing.
