Wow, Marcello. This was a good find. Not many available. A huge collar with lots of buffalo or bush cow heads, only worn by the most influential people of the Bamun tribe. Very impressive.
The discovery was completely random.
I found it tby a Senegalese man at a flea market of antiques which is in the city on the last Sunday of each month.
I liked it as soon as I saw it.
Typically, they are always the best purchases.
After lengthy negotiations, this is their way of doing business, we agreed on the price.
Very impressive!
