Forms of this type, known among collectors as prestige anklets or anklet currency, served as personal adornment and indicators of status and wealth. The broad crescent-shaped form and decorative central band correspond with documented Senufo metalwork traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anklet was produced using the traditional lost-wax casting process and displays an aged surface patina, handling wear, and oxidation consistent with long-term use and age. The strong sculptural profile, decorative casting detail, and established provenance make it a desirable example for collectors of African art, ethnographic metalwork, and historical adornment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLate 19th to Early 20th Century (c.1880–1920)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEgon Guenther Collection; by family descent to Thomas Guenther Collection, Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e17.6 × 8.21 × 7.7 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e414 g\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esteemed Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54201941524821,"sku":"EG 177","price":325.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/2353\/1861\/files\/Lost-waxcastbronzeankletattributedtotheSenufocultureofnorthernCoted_Ivoire_fromtheEgonGuentherCollection.jpg?v=1782147766","url":"https:\/\/esteemedantiques.com\/products\/senufo-bronze-prestige-anklet-for-sale-lost-wax-cast-currency-ornament-cote-d-ivoire-ex-egon-guenther-collection","provider":"Esteemed Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
