Description: Vintage African Kuba Beaded Belt With Uncommon Congo Cowrie Shells And Beads of different colors. Note the large Knot. There are also clusters of unique cowrie shells with undulating uneven edges. This inclusion of these elevat the value of the belt even at the time of production. Because cowrie shells embodies wealth, power, fertility and protection, and rarer shells like this were traded for higher amounts. These shells are most probably monetaria moneta tuberculosa which are not as smooth ones without the bumps (meaning they are bumpy and not smooth) The main part of the belt measures 38” and total length including the ties is 49” It would make a great display piece.
