Attributed to the Senufo people of northern Côte d'Ivoire, this substantial copper-alloy prestige anklet was cast using the traditional lost-wax process during the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Jewellery of this type functioned as an important symbol of status and wealth and forms part of the rich bronze-casting traditions of West Africa.

The anklet displays finely incised cross-hatched ornament, applied bosses and ringed collars, all executed within a carefully balanced open form. It retains an attractive dark brown patina together with honest wear consistent with age and traditional use. Comparable examples are represented in museum collections and specialist ethnographic collections, making pieces of this quality desirable to collectors of African art.
