Title: Legband Money and Mold to Make It
Description: The Ekonda Tribe of Zaire used bronze legbands decorated with three ribs as a form of money. This example, with additional engraving, is over a foot long; see Opitz, pp. 201-02 (illustrated, p. 202). These were cast in earthen molds, and this lot includes a rare wooden pattern to make such a mold.
