Ancient & Antique Fulani Earrings from Mali and Mauritania
These rings have been handmade from twisted rods of brass or silver by local craftsmen for hundreds of years and despite their size, are quite lightweight.
Solid gold versions of these " kwottenai kanye " can be seen in Angela Fisher's superb book Africa Adorned ( pages 181 - 183 )
