Rare Cameroon Bronze Bugle Bead, E

Covered with very heavy patina, these very
cool, old, rare cast-bronze (maybe brass?) funnel-shaped dangle come from Cameroon/Nigeria. These large-hole beads are also called "bugles" by some collectors. The ones pictured here average 50mm-59mm in length x 18-25mm in width with a 3-5mm hole for stringing. Photo illustrates the variations in this basket-weave style with varying degrees of patina, SOLD SEPARATELY not as a group.
