Kuba Currency
From Zaire
$750
Hand forged metal and wood with an alluminum coil handle. Not only were these pieces valuable for trade, they were a representation of status amongst tribe members.  Such power was ascribed to the currency that people often wished to be buried with them so they could carry over the power to the next world.
