Rare bronze bracelet worn by men and women in the Lake Chad region, Kototo ethnic group.

Imposing dimensions: height 9 cm, width 13 cm - Origin: private collection, France.

Beyond its status as a sign of belonging to the upper echelons of Kotoko society, this bracelet is often worn as a talisman, as evidenced by the delicately shaped dragon heads. The finesse of this bracelet demonstrates the art of these ethnic groups, who mastered the lost-wax technique to perfection.

The Retour De Voyage gallery is proud to present this exclusive collection of African art objects from the various ethnic groups present in West Africa. They have been scattered in individual collections, and it's a long and enjoyable process to present them together in this spring exhibition.
