Ethiopian Brass Bracelet Currency

Fully striped and diamond-centered, this cuff has an easy sort of confidence.

This bracelet currency is from Ethiopia, East Africa, and dates to the 20th century. It is brass. The shape of a ring or bracelet is easy to make, carry and count, which helps explain why it appears as currency in many cultures. A cross-hatched diamond with small circles at its corners sits in the center. The inside is dark and slightly scratched. It is 1 inches deep and 3 in diameter.

Plenty of stripes, one clear focal point.
