Gosh that is rather nice, Well done. I got a good thing today, a large bronze anklet . I think from the Cameroon, not being a weapon I have not added a picture.

You ever hear of a copper blade that sings? When you pling it with your finger the blade rings quite nicely. Lew |

Lew here is the picture from Westerdijk's book. N.11 seems similar to yours.

This lovely ornate one I got from Freddy is very similar. Gosh it just happens to be lying next to a Cameroon noble women's anklet. You can see the traditionally auspicious earth spider motif in the cut out panels. I must tidy my play pen.

Does the anklet open on a hinge or is it one solid piece? Lew |
