THREE DUBIL CURRENCY RODS. Sukur people, Nigeria and Cameroon. This iron rod currency was made from locally smelted iron by tribal blacksmiths in the Madagoli region of northern Nigeria and Cameroon living in the Mandara Mountains. The blacksmith’s hammer marks are readily apparent. The form with flared ends (that resembles a tibia or shin bone) dates from as early as the 16th century and possibly earlier. In the early 1700s, a male slave cost 13 dubil and a female slave 10 dubil. On custom magnetic base. Hand forged locally smelted iron. H 14-16in.

MAN’S KENTE PRESTIGE ROBE. Asante people, Ghana. This cloth is named “Mmaaban”, meaning “unity” because it has multiple warp stripe patterns. The dominant warp design is Oyokoman, consisting of red, green and gold stripes in several variant forms. Oyokoman refers to the Oyoko clan from which Asante Kings (Asantehene) were chosen. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the independent Asante clans joined forces in wars against British efforts to gain control over the Gold Coast. The powerful Oyoko clan was chosen to lead this confederation and it’s leaders became hereditary Asantehene in subsequent generations. Other warp stripe patterns represented are Kyemee, named for the powerful Asante Chief Kyime, and Mmeeeda, meaning “something extraordinary”. This hand woven, hand sewn cloth was collected in Bonwire, Ghana, the center of the Asante kente weaving tradition. The weaver is said to have been Nana Kwabena Boateng and it is estimated to date from around 1930. Silk and cotton. 22 strips. 128in x 73in.

OLD CURRENCY SPEARS. Tuareg people, Mali and Niger. The Tuareg are nomadic people in the southern Sahara regions of Mali and Niger. Spear-form currency was exchanged in important transactions like the purchase of a camel or rifle, and as bride wealth. These examples were collected from a Tuareg man in the city of Moptiin northern Mali in 2003. More recently, many local tribesmen in and around this city, including the Tuareg, have become involved in Jihadist terrorism. Consequently, it is no longer safe for Westerners to visit this region and coveted objects such as these currency spears are difficult to obtain. To facilitate transport on a camel, each spear consists of 2 sections. The upper blade ends in a tapered blunt point that fits in a leather-bound socket at the top of the handle. A couple of brass bells are suspended from a ring below each leather-bound socket. There are engraved abstract designs on both sides of each blade and handle.
