EG 0059 A Bobo Bracelet of Power

Cast using the lost wax method, this substantial copper alloy bracelet is attributed to the Bobo people of Burkina Faso, West Africa.

Defined by its pronounced conical projections and rope patterned bands, the form reflects both technical mastery and symbolic presence.

Comparable examples are illustrated in Africa Adorned by Angela Fisher.
