Description from the seller
Attributed to: Baule people
Country: Ivory Coast

Provenance: Ex private collection
Presumed age: Early 20th century
A finely cast bronze bracelet attributed to the Baoulé people of Ivory Coast.
Cast using traditional lost-wax techniques, this bracelet is characterized by its harmonious shape. Such ornaments were worn as symbols of status, wealth, and personal adornment, and could also serve as a form of stored value.

Seller's Story
For more than 30 years, I have collected African art with a focus on authenticity, symbolism, and refined craftsmanship.
Graduated as an engineer from École Centrale de Paris, I combine the rigor of my technical background with a lifelong passion for artistic expression and cultural heritage.
Founder of AS’ART (dedicated to contemporary handmade design) and Artifacts Gallery (devoted to ancient tribal art and ethnographic objects), I bring together two worlds: the vitality of today’s artisans and the timeless heritage of Africa’s past.
Every piece I present is chosen for its artistic quality, cultural significance, and emotional power.
