Unique Sculptural Iron Anklet Art Piece 75-80 Years Old

Significance of Yoruba Iron Anklets with Bells: Cultural Artifacts: These anklets, particularly the iron currency bell ankle dance bracelets, represent a unique piece of traditional African craftsmanship and artistry. Aesthetic and Functional: Historically, such objects served both as symbols of wealth and power and as a means of exchange for goods and services. They were used to purchase everyday items and facilitate major life transactions. Connection to Ogun: The Yoruba recognize Ogun as the god of iron. Iron anklets, therefore, may hold significance in ceremonies or practices dedicated to Ogun, signifying the connection between humans and this important deity. This listing includes two anklet cuffs. These can be worn or displayed.
