The form, scale, and decorative treatment are consistent with West African metalworking traditions associated with northern Côte d’Ivoire, southern Mali, and neighbouring regions. Comparable examples have been attributed to Senufo traditions and are documented in ethnographic collections and the African art market as prestige adornments, heavy anklets, or currency-related forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"845\" data-end=\"1207\"\u003eThe object appears to have been produced using the traditional lost-wax casting technique and subsequently hand-finished. Surface wear, oxidation, and handling marks are consistent with age and use. The heavy cast structure, balanced proportions, and sculptural form make the piece suitable for collectors of African metalwork and historic ethnographic material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1209\" data-end=\"1257\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1218\"\u003eLate 19th century to early 20th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1259\" data-end=\"1351\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProvenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1270\" data-end=\"1273\"\u003eEgon Guenther Collection\u003cbr data-start=\"1297\" data-end=\"1300\"\u003eBy family descent to the Thomas Guenther Collection\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1366\" data-end=\"1369\"\u003eOuter length: 12.86 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1391\" data-end=\"1394\"\u003eHeight: 8.94 cm\u003cbr data-start=\"1409\" data-end=\"1412\"\u003eWidth: 10.1 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1446\"\u003eWeight:\u003cbr data-start=\"1435\" data-end=\"1438\"\u003e1.285 kg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Esteemed Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53946546717013,"sku":"EG 151","price":450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/2353\/1861\/files\/west-african-cast-bronze-anklet-bracelet-possibly-senufo.jpg?v=1779090672","url":"https:\/\/esteemedantiques.com\/products\/west-african-bronze-anklet-bracelet-possibly-senufo-cote-d-ivoire-or-mali-region-lost-wax-cast-late-19th-early-20th-century","provider":"Esteemed Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
