Description

For more than 1000 years Africans from Senegal to the Cape wore bangles, lots of them. The bangle style was African and unique - chunky, weighty and solid. Their precious metal was not gold or silver but bronze. They established their own sophisticated technology. This once uniform decorative culture has almost disappeared. In this book, the beautiful, meaningful African bangle culture is recorded.
