Mbole Ambi Currency.
DR Congo.
Mbole currency, often referred to as 'the perfect form,' was worn around the ankle as a display of status by both women and men of the Mbole tribe. Formed from copper, these pieces were exchanged during marriage ceremonies. Copper was worked in Africa several hundred years before the use of iron. This ancient material is typically associated with fertility and water. Traditionally, these heavy copper "anklet" forms were recognized and used as currency for rare but major transactions.
