Arm ring

Small braided arm ring. Received from the Museum für Völkerkunde Berlin, from the "collection of Dr Kersting, Togo". In the corresponding catalogue, the object is described as a "braided arm ring", with origin "Northwest llama". In the collection catalogue of the Landesmuseum Natur und Mensch Oldenburg ("Devermann-Katalog"), however, the origin is contradictorily mentioned as "Benin, Dahomey". It is unclear where this information comes from.
