Bronze Verre Belt

The Verre are among the most skilled of Cross River peoples in lost wax casting. They are justly famous for their ceremonial bronze axes and hoes, rings, bracelets and other adornments. This traditional waist ornament from eastern Nigeria is made up of dozens of individually-cast copper alloy beads of various sizes and textures. Such belts are rare with the best examples featuring a central bead of spectacular size and fine detail.
