Cast and twisted iron and copper alloy with two finely cast figures, a male and female, sitting with arms outstretched. The surface of the piece exhibits a lovely verdigris patina.
Though shaped like bracelets, these types of rare objects were not worn, but placed on altars by the Lobi and Bwa and manipulated at the same time as the statuettes.
