African Dogon Bronze Ring / Pendant with Peanut, Mali Size 8.5

This is a design of the Dogon people of Mali for whom peanuts are a major crop. The peanut itself appears hollow with something inside... up to the buyer to find out what...
 
While shaped as a ring, these were often worn as pendants on bands around one’s waist.
 
This comes to us from the personal collection of a late family friend, an American gentleman who lived in the Côte d'Ivoire for many years in the 1970s.
 
Collectors may want to contact a framer or display company for a custom stand on which to display this piece.
