Large, heavy stone bracelet excavated in Hombori, Mali. Laboriously
hand-carved c.1890-1920 from a solid piece of granite taken from a sacred rock
outcropping. Used as trade currency with the Timbuktu Caravans until Europeans
erected political, ethnic borders and missionaries inflamed religious
differences between tribes. These bracelets had magical powers and were banged
together as noise makers during celebrations increasing social status for those
who ignored risk of breakage. Also used as bracelet-fighting weapons by the
Tuareg. Remember eBay collects sales tax.
