Matakam stammevaluta - Matakam - Kamerun
A matakam flat iron currency with double spiral shape on the extremities. Cameroon. With stand.
The african iron currencies appeared relatively late in African art because blacksmiths acquired control of iron only after exchanges with Westerners. However, there is a very wide diversity depending on the region. They were used for barter or wedding dowries.
