Fur - Nubian - ivory bracelet 01.07.1042

The Fur are the largest ethnic group in the Darfur - home of the Fur - region of western Sudan. The Fur produced these cuffs but they exported them to various other tribes. The cuff is in extraordinarily good condition, with a nice patina, due to its long use. Collected during my stays in Southern Soudan in the 1970'ties.
