Pair of African Igbo Open-Sided Cast Copper Cuff Bracelets
About the Item
A very nice pair of African Igbo open-sided cast copper cuff bracelets, circa 1980s. The pair are a fine example of an open-sided cast copper cuff bracelet or wrist guard that is decorated with both geometric and figurative motifs etched and stippled into the surface. The tubular shape is consistent from one end to the other - the wrist would emerge from the bottom opening. The panels are ribbed and stippled with patterns and geometric designs. Before 1920, Igbo woman commonly wore these large cuffs as armlets or anklets as symbols of wealth and status. The weight and size were cumbersome, and the wearer was unable to undertake normal domestic duties, thus furthering her image of idle leisure. These appear to be late 20th century models that are in very good vintage condition with a fine patina.
