MFUNTE, CURRENCY, Dem. Rep. Congo
These iron forms were recognized and used as currency.
Although similar, the sizes and patinas vary slightly. All are in very good condition and all have the correct thick bulge at the base on the front.
These Mfunte pieces were photographed on a temporary magnetic stand (not included).
