A very old Gurunsi or Fra Fra bronze bronze anklet or chevillière.
Traditional chevillières are worn by women but some scholars believe that they are also worn by men, especially the larger and heavier anklets.
Created using the lost wax technique, this impressive chevillière is adorned by applied concentric as well as semi-circular motifs.
