This once came in a lot with Weat African and Asian pieces which I acquired only because on one particular piece I really wanted. Maybe someone knows more about this type of pendant...?

Hi Betty, a rather late reaction but could it be a Chamba Currency of Northern Nigeria?

Thank you very much - comments are always welcome, especially since I still don't know anything about this pendant. ... would you perhaps have a reference for me, e.g. a picture of a Chamba currency? I am totally ignorant when it comes to currencies I am afraid :)
