Description
TUTSI, Rwanda/Burundi. Wood, copper, patina of use. Rare "Igitembe" wristguard worn on the left wrist to protect the archer's forearm from bruising caused by the recoil of the bowstring. This type of bracelet was used by the elite warriors and chiefs of the royal guard, and the inlaid copper was imported from Katanga in Zaire as a relatively expensive medium. 24x24 cm.
