Beautiful wrist bracelet with four busts, two female and two male with their scarifications, separated from each other by incised motifs among which we notice the undulating python and the Lebee, the mark of the double vision.

According to Ngouayoulou Gaston, this type of bracelet is used by the Onkoo when he is preparing for a trip, he throws the bracelet on the ground and rolls it around; if it comes back to his feet, it means that the omens are favorable.

Could also be worn by notables but were less elaborate.
