DUBILIRON INGOT. Marghipeople, Sukor Madagoli region, northeastern Nigeria. This region is rich in easily accessible iron ore and was a major site of iron smelting before iron was brought to Africa in bulk quantities by Europeans. The iron ingot produced from locally smelted iron in this region is called a dubil. They are known to date at least from the 16th century and possibly earlier when a male slave cost 13 dubil and a female slave was valued at 10 dubil. Dubil were also an important component of bride price. This example is thought to date from the early 1800s. It is a fine example of early African iron smelting and the work of a blacksmith. On a custom magnetic base. Locally smelted and hand forged iron. H16in.
