YORUBA, MONEY BELT CURRENCY 1-3, 25", Nigeria $250 each

These brass rings were tied together with a leather snake-like spine and worn as a belt. This form was recognized and used as currency and could be broken up for smaller transactions. The three belts are indistinguishable except by how they are arranged.
