This antique iron bracelet originates from the Senufo people of Mali. It was originally used as an amulet anklet or chevillière. Traditional chevillières are worn by women but men, may also wear them, especially the larger and heavier anklets. Created using the lost wax method that involves creating a model in beeswax. Once completed, wax rods are attached to it and the entire model is encased in layers of fine clay. The structure is heated and the melted wax runs out through the channels of wax rods; molten metal is poured into the mold - the mold is broken and the piece has been created, resulting in a unique and original piece.
Made of 100%Â Brass / Bronze
Model is W 1 â H 11 and weight 0.2 kg.
