Iron Gong Currency - Nupe People - Nigeria
Price: $2,000.00
Although the gong is a type of percussion
instrument used on a daily basis, a gong
of this size had value beyond its material
usefulness. Ironwork was believed to have
magical dimensions, and as such was a
high-end commodity. Gongs were traded
and used as a type of currency.
