Title: Marriage Hoe
Description: From East Africa come so-called "marriage hoes;" early in the 20th century, the Madi tribe of Northern Uganda made special anchor-shaped hoes—too large for practical use—solely for bride price payments. Each was valued at about ten shillings. See Quiggin Pl. 1, No. 1, and Opitz, p. 159 (this example illustrated, second from top).
