Fotring av mässing med geometriska ornament.(HTB)
"Older, married women used to wear fine and large leg-rings according to their social standing. The favourites of the chiefs had extremely large, thick brass rings which the natives themselves cast from pieces of metal (ntaku), which were formerly used as the currency of the country. The rings were as a rule hollow, and were filled with fine sand when cast" (Laman, The Kongo I, s.76)
