These photos are all a little "warmer" (that is, more orange) than the actual pieces which range from a light oatmeal color to reddish brown.
This unusual currency from the Idiofa region of The Democratic Republic of Congo is woven from raffia and then rolled into bundles with braided ends. Although very similar, there are subtle differences in the thickness of the rolls and the length and symmetry of the braids.
