Antique African Money - $85.00 + Free Delivery
Iron work had great value in African cultures. Beginning in the 18th century the availability of iron in sub-Saharan Africa increased and it eventually developed into a high end trading commodity. Objects created in iron are today known as African money and include such items as swords and bracelets. We currently have a few swords, each is slightly different than the other. As with the masks, please give us a call if you want to see the actual one you would be receiving, before placing your order online.
the iron swords were once attached to a wooded handle
