Large African Mbole Tribe Copper Currency Sculpture. Large scale sculpture of the Mbole tribe's currency, resembling a copper anklet that would be worn to display wealth. Includes display base.

The Mbole tribe is an ethnic group native to the central region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, particularly in the Orientale Province. Known for their rich cultural heritage, the Mbole people have a deep connection to their forest environment, which influences their art, spiritual beliefs, and daily life. They are renowned for their intricate wood carvings, particularly masks and figures used in religious and social rituals, reflecting their animist beliefs and reverence for ancestral spirits. The Mbole also have a strong tradition of communal living and a rich oral history, with storytelling playing a central role in preserving their customs and values. Their social structure is traditionally organized around clans, and they practice subsistence farming, with cassava and plantains being staple crops.

Size: 10 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 9 in.
