A 18th c. - early 19th c. African antique bronze slave bracelet, anklet or bangle. It's very ornate with  repousse ( hammered from the inside ) decorations covering all the exterior surfaces.  It is a two piece design with a copper bottom added to the underside and is still soldered  to one half side of the anklet, while the other half has come loose. The original pin holes that  secured the anklet together have been soldered and filled with solder as well the pin holes  on the inside of the anklet. The design suggests its origin is from the Omani Arab Tribe area. History has shown that  these bracelets or anklets were used to show status or wealth when out in the public in  addition to a being a means of control over the slaves.

In the 19th century the Omani controlled  the largest area of the slave trade along the east Coast of Africa as well as the island of Zanzibar.  Condition: A 19th c. African O
