AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Imposing, austere, and schematic, the diamond shape of this currency is rhythmic and cut on both sides by gentle curved forms. This artifact was used as a medium of exchange, notably in the northeastern part of Nigeria as well as by certain groups in the western part of Cameroon.
