Odd Bronze Bugle Beads from Cameroon, C

Smaller but still ultra-cool, old, rare cast-bronze (maybe brass?) funnel-shaped dangle from Cameroon/Nigeria. These large-hole beads are also called "bugles" by some collectors. The ones pictured here average 34mm-47mm in length x 18-24mm in width with a 3-5mm hole for stringing. Photo illustrates the variations in this basket-weave & (worn) swirl/whorl style, SOLD SEPARATELY not as a group.
