special old large antique african carved tribal art ox bone bangle bracelet

special

Here we have an extrordinary  tribal bangle made from a natural material. The piece has the best honey coloured  patina i have ever seen on a piece of this material. 

The patina is golden all over and treacle brown almost black on the inside. This only happens from many tens/ hundreds of years of wear. I think that this piece dates from the early 19th century but could even be older! It was probably an anklet rather than a bangle but cant be sure.

 

The piece is in very good condition. 

Thanks for looking and good luck!
