Attribution - NonCommercial - NoDerivs 4.0 InternationalCopper Anklet for a Woman (Ongondo)
Historical research carried out by the Museums Association of Namibia (see publication 2019, available online) attributes the production of this kind of anklet for women exclusively to blacksmiths active in the Ondonga Owambo kingdom at the time when this object was dispatched to Stuttgart. They also produced them for sale and their customers would have payed quite a high price for them. Text: Sandra Ferracuti.
