With a graceful curve, this torque currency of the Yoruba people in Nigeria set in a carved elk vertebrae mount with a stainless steel base. This captivating, heavy cast, sculptural object was created by melting down manilla bracelets and lesser currencies and owning one reflected one’s amassed wealth.
