Metal body ornament (possibly Dinka), Sudan
9" long x 3.5" tall (custom mount included with the object)
copper
from the Alan Helms collection, Boston, MA
$900
This metal adornment would have been worn around the neck. It is my thought that it is Dinka or
Neur in origin because the form is very similar to the headrests of these people.
