Характеристики

Traded in from the coast into the highlands, this shell is used for Bride price, land and compensation payments by many of the highland tribes.  It is made from the Melo shell.  This piece is very old as it has no brown markings on the exterior that a new shell would show.  It comes on a custom metal stand.
Shell is 10.5" high, 14" high on the stand.  8.5" wide and 5" deep.
