Mfunte silver cufflinks 15 cm deepThis statement pendant is cast from a found piece of bartering money used by the Mfunte tribe of Cameroon near Nigeria. For us, it's a beautifully organic and shapely piece. Originally made from iron, these money blades were used in bartering transactions with other local tribes. Weve kept the original eroded texture of the once buried blade. Our pendant hangs on a long 30 (76 cm). This substantial pendant measures 3. 5 x 1" (9 x 2. 5 cm).
