This antique African iron currency sculpture features a striking abstract human figure with a ritual bell, embodying the symbolic and ceremonial traditions of West and Central Africa. Dating to the late 1800s or early 1900s, this piece was likely used in dowry exchanges or important trade negotiations. Crafted from heavy iron with a rich natural patina, it represents both functional currency and a powerful cultural artifact.
