TWO BRACELET-FORM MANILLAS. Yoruba people, Nigeria. Manillas are a diverse group of iron, brass, and copper objects with semicircular C-shapes, U-shapes and elongated U-shapes, as well as coils and rings. The name manilla has been attributed to the word manilho or manillol meaning bracelet. Most manillas were manufactured in European countries and transported to Africa to be exchanged for various goods, including gold, ivory and slaves. They were usually made by pouring molten metal into molds. Decorative surface designs were sometimes built into the molds to increase the value of manillas or they were added by African blacksmiths. Manillas with decorated surfaces were highly prized to be used for ceremonial purposes or hoarded and buried for safe keeping. (A) C-shaped manilla with surface decoration added during casting. Said to have been excavated from a hoard in the 1960s which explains the verdigris patina. On custom base. Brass. Diameter 5.5". (B) C shaped manilla with inscribed surface decoration added by an African blacksmith. Designs consist of lines forming triangles and punched circles. Dates from early 19th century. On custom base. Diameter 4. 5in. 31b. Exhibited at the Pen and Brush Gallery New York 2003.
