AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ancient Ethnic Open-Rigid Bracelet (Torques).
West Africa (primarily the Sahel region and the Niger River Basin).
Countries of origin: Mali / Burkina Faso / Niger.
Traditionally attributed to the craftsmanship of the Dogon or Tuareg / Fulani peoples, who have a long tradition of metal casting for mystical and ceremonial protection jewelry.
Rigid open bracelet of tribal origin with rich historical significance.
Sustainable and safe material: solid reclaimed ancient aluminum (cast from traditional elements). It is a clean, non-polluting metal, completely hypoallergenic and extremely lightweight, guaranteeing comfort to wear (approximately 30-35 grams).
Dimensions: outer diameter 7.5 to 8 cm with an opening of 2.5 to 3 cm.
Geometric faceted terminals featuring a hand-made radial engraving on two of its ends.
This motif represents the solar symbol or a mystical tribal protector.
This is an authentic ancient piece that shows natural wear from the passage of time and the porosities/perforations typical of artisanal casting in a rustic mold, which certifies 100% its originality.
Provenance: Private collection.
Shipped by certified mail through Spain's Correos and insured for its value.
