The belt and necklace are made from hundreds of small brass rings braided together, so is one of the bracelets with added colored bids. The other bracelet is heavy cast brass with human faces. The waist ornament is very interesting made from steel bells connected to a belt. Belt length 29 inches. All authentic pieces, mid 20th C. An unusual collection of tribal decorative art most probably from the Ngombe tribe in central Zaire. Excellent condition.
