CURRENCY BRIDEWEALTH BUNDLE. Kissi people, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. T-shaped rods with a twisted shaft, terminating at one end in lateral, pointed appendages called nileng, were widely used as currency by the Kissi people. Until the 1920s, the so-called ?Kissi pennies? were the only money used in the region. By the 1940s colonial governments had replaced Kissi pennies with coins, but the metal objects were still used in certain rituals, especially as bundles wrapped with cloth which were presented by a man to a potential bride?s family to signify his interest (bride wealth). This fine example of such a bundle dating from the early 1900s resembles a bouquet of flowers. On custom base. Hand forged iron, cloth. H18in. Ex Eric Robertson Collection.
