Wentholt describes in his book (from: 2017, p. 132) those Igbo cuff bracelets, which are decorated with human or anthropomorphic figures, as 'exceptional cases'. The figures and the queens or their attributes imply their high status and therefore 'clearly indicate the rank in society of the wearer of the bracelet. One has a crack at the base, width: 11 cm, height: 17.5 cm.
